UPS Management Using SNMP
Overview The value of UPS's for the protection of local area networks is widely accepted. Using a serial connection between the UPS and the server, UPS operation can be monitored locally. File shutdown procedures can consequently be initiated automatically at the end of battery backup time. With the increasing interconnection of networks in large companies, it has become necessary to provide more sophisticated functions. With the centralization of network administration, it is no longer possible to manage communication between the UPS and the server at a local level. The importance of the UPS with respect to the network - in its role as a fault-tolerant power supply system - means that it is essential that it be administrated by SNMP, in the same way as other sensitive components such as hubs or routers. When a UPS is administrated by a network, UPS data is collected by an agent and may be viewed by an administration station on the network. If action is required (shutdown, for example), the relevant command will be sent to a specific process running on the system protected by the UPS.
