Device Definition Files option

[EcoStruxureIT]

Use this option to manage the Device Definition Files (DDFs) that the server uses to access information about the environmental, power, and cooling sensors at supported SNMP devices.

Each DDF file is designed to provide information about sensors for a particular product set from a specific manufacturer, and contains only the OIDs directly related to that product's capabilities.

Go to Device > SNMP Device Communication Settings > Device Definition Files

I currently have a couple different PDU's that currently cannot update firmware via DCE because it looks like it doesnt have these DDF files necessary to configure them or update them.  Where would one find these DDF files for APDU10451SM and APDU10351SM.  Just to be honest, not really liking these PDU's and managing them.  I feel like these are a step back from other APC PDU's we have.  For one, you try to download the config file, its unreadable and I find no where on your website some app to read it so we can edit them and upload them to other PDU's in the environment.
