Chapter 4: Using SNMP
197
Layout
Opening the MIB reveals the custom objects that describe the system at the unit level as well as at the individual outlet
level.
As standard, these objects are first presented at the beginning of the file, listed under their parent group. The objects then
appear again individually, defined and described in detail.
For example, the measurementsGroup group contains objects for sensor readings of the PDU as a whole. One object
listed under this group, measurementsUnitSensorValue, is described later in the MIB as "The sensor value".
pduRatedCurrent, part of the configGroup group, describes the PDU current rating.
SNMP Sets and Thresholds
Some objects can be configured from the SNMP manager using SNMP set commands. Objects that can be configured
have a MAX-ACCESS level of "read-write" in the MIB.
These objects include threshold objects, which causes the PDU to generate a warning and send an SNMP notification
when certain parameters are exceeded. For more information, see
Note: When configuring the thresholds via SNMP set commands, ensure the value of upper critical threshold is higher than
theupper warning threshold.
