Abstract

See full text

A SNMP network comprises a power manager with a SNMP agent in TCP/IP communication over a network with a SNMP network manager. The power manager is connected to control several intelligent power modules each able to independently control the on/off power to several inter-networking devices in an equipment rack at a common remote node, e.g., a point-of-presence site. Power-on and load sensors within each intelligent power module are able to report the power status of each inter-networking device to the SNMP network manager with MIB variables in response to GET commands. The SNMP network manager is further able to reboot each inter-networking device by cycling the power on/off to its respective intelligent power module with the SET command provided in conventional SNMP management applications.
