APC has released new firmware (v6.0.6) for the ap9630 card. With snmpget now working correctly even after rebooting the ap9630 card I attempted to get NUT to talk to it. Doing a "/sbin/snmp-ups -D -D -D -D -a tfapc01" produced Network UPS Tools - Generic SNMP UPS driver 0.68 (2.6.5) 0.000000 debug level is '4' 0.000385 SNMP UPS driver : entering upsdrv_initups() 0.000402 SNMP UPS driver : entering nut_snmp_init(snmp-ups) 0.044948 SNMP UPS driver : entering load_mib2nut(apcc) 0.044957 load_mib2nut: trying classic method with 'apcc' mib 0.044961 Entering nut_snmp_get_str() 0.044965 nut_snmp_get(.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.1.1.1.0) 0.051353 Unknown mibs value: apcc Now in the months between the last post and this, I had the opportunity to successfully test SNMPv3 using an Eaton Network Card-MS in an evolution 850. Now what was different (besides all the hardware). I remembered that the Eaton card did not have the option of using AES for the privProtocol. So I changed the privProtocol from AES to DES and updated usp.conf and now NUT seems willing to talk to the ap9630. So we've got a problem setting privProtocol = AES Now to do my power fail / shutdown testing. -- Tim Rice Multitalents (707) 456-1146 [email protected] _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
