Example: Ping Monitoring and SNMP Notifications
In this illustration, it is assumed that a significant PDU (IP address: 192.168.84.95) shall be monitored by your PDU to
make sure that PDU is properly operating all the time, and the PDU must send out SNMP notifications (trap or inform) if
that PDU is declared unreachable due to power or network failure. The prerequisite for this example is that the power
sources are different between your PDU and the monitored PDU.
This requires the following two steps.
Step 1: Set up the ping monitoring for the target PDU
1.
Choose Device Settings > Component Reachability.
2.
