NAME¶
snmp-ups - Multi-MIB Driver for SNMP UPS equipmentNOTE¶
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the snmp-ups driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).SUPPORTED HARDWARE¶
The snmp-ups driver automatically detects and supports a wide range of devices by loading various MIBS: ietf:: UPS that is RFC 1628 (UPS MIB) compliant, e.g. MGE UPS SYSTEMS, Liebert, perhaps others (default) mgeMGE UPS SYSTEMS and MGE Office Protection
Systems devices with SNMP cards (ref 66062, 66045, 66074 and 66244)
apcc
APC AP9605, AP9606, AP9617, and AP9618 APC
network management cards, as well as any others supporting the APC POWERNET
MIB
netvision
Socomec Sicon UPS with Netvision Web/SNMP
management card/external box
pw
Powerware devices with ConnectUPS SNMP
cards
aphel_genesisII
Eaton Powerware ePDU Monitored
aphel_revelation
Eaton Powerware ePDU Managed
raritan
Various Raritan PDUs
baytech
Various BayTech PDUs
cpqpower
HP/Compaq AF401A management card, perhaps
others
cyberpower
Cyberpower RMCARD201. Should also support
RMCARD100 (net version), RMCARD202 and RMCARD301
EXTRA ARGUMENTS¶
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5): mibs=nameSet MIB compliance (default=auto, allowed
entries: refer to the above SUPPORTED HARDWARE). With "auto", the
driver will try a select set of SNMP objects until it finds one that the
device responds to.
community=name
Set community name (default = public). Note
that you require a RW community name to change UPS settings (as for a
powerdown).
snmp_version=version
Set SNMP version (default = v1, the other
allowed value is v2c)
pollfreq=value
Set polling frequency in seconds, to reduce
network flow (default=30)
notransferoids
Disable the monitoring of the low and high
voltage transfer OIDs in the hardware. This will remove input.transfer.low and
input.transfer.high from the list of variables. This should only be used on
APCC Symmetra equipment which has strangeness in the three-phase power
reporting.
secLevel=value
Set the securityLevel used for SNMPv3 messages
(default=noAuthNoPriv, allowed: authNoPriv,authPriv)
secName=value
Set the securityName used for authenticated
SNMPv3 messages (no default)
authPassword=value
Set the authentication pass phrase used for
authenticated SNMPv3 messages (no default)
privPassword=value
Set the privacy pass phrase used for encrypted
SNMPv3 messages (no default)
authProtocol=value
Set the authentication protocol (MD5 or SHA)
used for authenticated SNMPv3 messages (default=MD5)
privProtocol=value
Set the privacy protocol (DES or AES) used for
encrypted SNMPv3 messages (default=DES)
REQUIREMENTS¶
You will need to install the Net-SNMP package from http://www.net-snmp.org/ before building this driver.LIMITATION¶
Shutdown¶
This driver does not provide a proper upsdrv_shutdown() function. There probably never will be one, since at the time this script should run (near the end of the system halt script), there will be no network capabilities anymore. Probably the only way to shutdown an SNMP UPS is by sending it a shutdown with delay command through upscmd(8) and hope for the best that the system will have finished shutting down before the power is cut.INSTALLATION¶
This driver is only built if the Net-SNMP development files are present on the system. You can also force it to be built by using "configure --with-snmp=yes" before calling make.IMPLEMENTATION¶
The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.:[snmpv1] driver = snmp-ups port = snmp-ups.example.com community = public snmp_version = v1 mibs = ietf pollfreq = 15 desc = "Example SNMP v1 device"
[snmpv3] driver = snmp-ups port = 166.99.224.132 mibs = mge secLevel = authPriv secName = mysecurityname authPassword = myauthenticationpassphrase privPassword = myprivatepassphrase desc = "Example SNMP v3 device, with the highest security level"
