NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific fea-
tures of the snmp-ups driver. For information about the
core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The new snmp-ups driver supports a wide range of devices
by loading various MIBS:
ietf: UPS that is RFC 1628 (UPS MIB) compliant, ie MGE
UPS SYSTEMS, Liebert, perhaps others (default)
apcc: APC AP9606 APC Web/SNMP management card, perhaps
others
mge: MGE UPS SYSTEMS devices with SNMP card (ref 66062,
66045,66074 and 66244)
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in
the ups.conf(5):
mibs=name
Set MIB compliance (default=ietf, allowed mge,apcc)
community=name
Set community name (default = public). Note that
you require a RW community name to perform UPS
shutoff (powerdown).
snmp_version=version
Set SNMP version (default = v1, the other allowed
value is v2c)
REQUIREMENTS
You will need to install the Net-SNMP package from
http://www.net-snmp.org/ before building this driver.
EXPERIMENTAL DRIVER
This driver has been tagged experimental, even if it has
been reported to be stable. Thus it is not suitable for
production systems and it is not built by default.
INSTALLATION
This driver is not built by default. You can build it by
using "configure --with-drivers=snmp-ups" before calling
make.
IMPLEMENTATION
The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port" value
in ups.conf, i.e.:
[snmp]
driver = snmp-ups
port = snmp-ups.example.com
community = public
snmp_version = v1
mibs = ietf
