SNMP in Power Xpert MeterThe goal of the SNMP implementation in Power Meters is to help network managers tobetter manage a full and diverse set of Power Chain devices in their enterprise. This isachieved by providing, for all devices:A consistent view of each device with:• simple status information• basic descriptive information• highlighting of devices that require attention, with an indication of what sort of problemis presentHistorical information (traps) that can be logged for event reconstruction:• sent when any device’s simple status changes• sent when alarms occur or clearThe MIBs supported are:MIB filename Description / UsageEaton Power Xpert MeterMIBEATON-PWR-MTR-MIB.txtMetered electrical systemvalues.Eaton Alarms+Traps MIB EATON-PXG-MIB.txt Alarms and notifications (traps).Eaton Object Identifier(OID) assignmentsEATON-OIDS.txt Base document for all OID as-signments for Eaton’s MIBs.RFC 4133 Entity MIB ENTITY-MIB.txt Identification and description ofeach deviceRFC 4268 Entity StateMIBENTITY-STATE-MIB.txt Five availability status meters foreach device attached to the cardRFC 4268 Entity StateMIB Part 2ENTITY-STATE-TC-MIB.txtPossible state values for theEntity State MIBThe MIB files referenced above are available at the following Eaton web site URL:http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/Markets/Electrical/Products/PowerQualityManagement/PowerXpertArchitecture/PowerXpertGatewaySeries1000Card/index.htmYou can add these files to the MIB database of your SMP management software toaccess the individual MIB objects.MIB FILESThis section describes various the Management Information Base (MIB) files available.A MIB is an information repository residing on a device in a communication network.Network management software uses a device’s MIB to manage the device. Every man-ageable device on a network has a MIB consisting of one or more files that list informationabout the device.Use the facilities provided by your Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) man-agement software to access the individual MIB objects.
