DCE - APC SNMP Device Configuration is not available on APDU10150ME

[mkmazid]

Hi,

I am trying to add a few APDU10150ME PDUs to DCE.

They currently have SNMPv1 enabled but when I want to update them to SNMPv3, it doesn't have the APC SNMP Device Configuration option.

And if I configure SNMPv3 in the Web GUI, DCE doesn't discover it, even though I enter the correct security settings.

Has anyone able to configure SNMPv3 using DCE?

Hello @mkmazid,

Your 10K Series advanced PDU likely contains a legacy network management card.  A replacement is available to purchase that would change this to a APC NMC 3 card that would activate the features that you are looking for within Data Center Expert.

Information on this display can be found here: https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/APDU9640NMC3/apc-netshelter-rack-pdu-advanced-network-management-ca...

You can reference the documentation on that page for more details.

If you have any specific questions on the PDU / Display outside its relation to Data Center Expert, I would recommend another post for those in the APC Enterprise community forum: https://community.se.com/t5/APC-UPS-Data-Center-Enterprise/bd-p/datacenter-forum

Kind Regards,

Cory

Hi @Cory_McDonald,

We're talking about 7 PDUs with this issue.  Surely it cannot have the same issue in all of them?  That would really be absurd having spent a lot on them only for them not be compatible with DCE due to a legacy card.

It appears I can add the PDU if I configure the Security Level to No Auth No Priv.  This obviously is not advised so need this to be AuthPriv.  All the other settings are correct.

OK it worked.

Two things has to be noted:
SNMP Version has to be set to either V1/2c&V3 or V3.

The other authentication has to be set to the S one and the privacy has to be set to the 128 one as 192 or 256 don't work.  I can't put the full name since I am not allowed to do so, so hopefully you will understand what they are.
