Example: Ping Monitoring and SNMP Notifications
In this illustration, it is assumed that a significant PDU (IP address:
192.168.84.95) shall be monitored by your PX3 to make sure that PDU is
properly operating all the time, and the PX3 must send out SNMP
notifications (trap or inform) if that PDU is declared unreachable due to
power or network failure. The prerequisite for this example is that the
power sources are different between your PX3 and the monitored PDU.
This requires the following two steps.
Step 1: Set up the ping monitoring for the target PDU
1. Choose Device Settings > Server Reachability.
2. Click .
3. Ensure the "Enable ping monitoring for this server" checkbox is
selected.
4. Enter the data shown below.

Enter the server's data.
