Chapter 1:
PowerNet MIB OIDs
PowerNet MIB Reference Guide
5
Under [products], there are three categories, two of which ([hardware] and [software]) provide OIDs
that you use to manage specific products.
The third listing, [system], does not provide OIDs that you can use for SNMP management. The read-
only OIDs that this category contains identify models of UPSs, Environmental Monitors, and
MasterSwitch units by unique numbers that other OIDs can reference. For example, the MIB-II system
OIDs (listed under [internet], [mgmt], [mib-2], and [system]) use a PowerNet MIB [system] OID
number for the MIB-II’s [sysObjectID] value.
Tabled OIDs
For any PowerNet MIB OID category listed in the SNMP browser, you can access a list of the current
values for all OIDs in that category and in all sub-categories below it in the hierarchy. For example,
you can select [apc] to list the current values for all PowerNet MIB OIDs, or [ups] to list the current
values for all PowerNet MIB UPS OIDs. However, OIDs grouped together in a table will not appear
in such a list. You can access an OID table’s values only by selecting that OID table in the SNMP
browser. (An OID table appears enclosed in braces {}.) For example, to access the OIDs that define all
four trap receivers for a device, select {mconfigTrapReceiverTable} in the SNMP browser.
For more information on how to define trap receivers, see Chapter 9, PowerNet MIB Traps.
[hardware] [software]
This category contains sub-categories for each type of
hardware product that you can manage using PowerNet
MIB OIDs. The following chapters describe how to use
the OIDs in those sub-categories:
• For [ups], see Chapter 3, How to Manage a UPS.
• For [measureUps], see Chapter 4, How to Manage
an Environmental Monitor.
• For [miniSNMP adapter], see Chapter 2, How to
Manage Agents and Management Cards.
• For [masterswitch], see Chapter 5, How to Manage
a MasterSwitch Unit.
• For [masterswitchVM], see Chapter 6, How to
Manage a MasterSwitch VM Unit.
• For [masterswitchMSP], see Chapter 7, How to
Manage a MasterSwitch Plus Unit.
This category includes read-only OIDs that
you can use to monitor a software
PowerNet Agent only (as described in
Chapter 2, How to Manage Agents and
Management Cards) and contains the one
sub-category [powerNetSubAgent]
