NAME
       snmp-ups - Multi-MIB Driver for SNMP UPS equipment

NOTE
       This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
       snmp-ups driver. For information about the core driver, see
       nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
       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

       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

EXTRA ARGUMENTS
       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)

       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)

REQUIREMENTS
       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.

LIMITATIONS
   Shutdown
       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.

INSTALLATION
       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.

EXAMPLES
       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"
