snmp-ups - Multi-MIB Driver for SNMP UPS equipment
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
snmp-ups driver. For information about the core driver, see
nutupsdrv(8).
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)
mge
MGE 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
pxgx_ups
Eaton devices with Power Xpert Gateway UPS Card
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
huawei
Huawei UPS5000-E, perhaps others
This driver supports the following optional settings in the
ups.conf(5):
mibs=name
Set MIB compliance (default=auto, allowed entries: refer
to SUPPORTED HARDWARE above). With "auto", the driver will try a
select set of SNMP objects until it finds one that the device responds to.
Note that since NUT 2.6.2, snmp-ups has a new method that uses sysObjectID
(which is a pointer to the prefered MIB of the device) to detect supported
devices. This renders void the use of "mibs" option.
community=name
Set community name (default = public). Note that a RW
community name is required to change UPS settings (as for a powerdown).
snmp_version=version
Set SNMP version (default = v1, allowed: v2c, v3)
snmp_retries=retries
Specifies the number of Net-SNMP retries to be used in
the requests (default=5)
snmp_timeout=timeout
Specifies the Net-SNMP timeout in seconds between retries
(default=1)
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)
You will need to install the Net-SNMP package from
http://www.net-snmp.org/ before building this driver.
SNMP v3 also requires OpenSSL support from
http://www.openssl.org.
The shutdown sequence should be tested before relying on NUT to
send a shutdown command to the UPS. The problem is that the host network
stack may have been torn down by the time the driver is invoked to send the
shutdown command. The driver attempts to send shutdown.return,
shutdown.reboot, and load.off.delay commands to the UPS in sequence,
stopping after the first supported command.
This driver is only built if the Net-SNMP development files are
present at configuration time. You can also force it to be built by using
configure --with-snmp=yes before calling make.
The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port"
value in ups.conf:
[snmpv1]
driver = snmp-ups
port = snmp-ups.example.com
community = public
snmp_version = v1
pollfreq = 15
desc = "Example SNMP v1 device"
[snmpv3]
driver = snmp-ups
port = 166.99.224.132
snmp_version = v3
secLevel = authPriv
secName = mysecurityname
authPassword = myauthenticationpassphrase
privPassword = myprivatepassphrase
desc = "Example SNMP v3 device, with the highest security level"
