Excellence.

1. Introduction

SNMPWEBCARD is an optional network card that you can install in the accessory slot of a compatible UPS system, PDU* or cooling unit. SNMPWEBCARD connects your Tripp Lite device to your Ethernet network as a manageable device that supports remote monitoring, remote control and remote condition reporting. You can manage the device from PowerAlert Network Management System, an SNMP Network Management Station, a Web browser or telnet. Remote access capability allows you to reboot, control outlets, shed nonessential loads, monitor load levels and more. The SNMPWEBCARD can also send SNMP traps or email messages to the addresses you specify, alerting you automatically to events such as power failures.

* SNMPWEBCARD is preinstalled in Tripp Lite Monitored and Switched PDUs, which can be identified by the presence of "MN" or "NET" in the model name. SNMPWECARD is also preinstalled in SRCOOLNET.

1.1 System Requirements

  • Tripp Lite UPS system, PDU, or cooling unit with compatible accessory slot or preinstalled SNMPWEBCARD.
  • Ethernet network that supports the TCP/IP protocol. Firewall ports 3664 and 3665 must be open.
    • One of the following options for remote monitoring and control:

• PowerAlert Network Management System
- SNMP-based Network Management Station (such as HP® OpenView®)
- Web browser that supports frames, forms and Java™ (such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 8.0 or later) (if launching vid browser)
• VT-100 Telnet and/or SSH Client

- For "Terminal Mode" configuration only:

• Terminal emulation software program (such as TeraTerm Pro by Ayera Technologies)
• Computer with available DB9 serial port

Warning: Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

2. Installation and Configuration

For instructions on hardware installation and basic configuration, refer to the printed manual that came with your SNMPWEBCARD or Tripp Lite device. For instructions on loading a firmware or device driver upgrade on the SNMPWEBCARD, refer to the PowerAlert software release notes. The manual and release notes can be found on the bundled CD-ROM or downloaded from www.triplite.com/manuals/.

2.1 Saving Configuration Changes

While using PowerAlert, most of your configuration changes will take effect immediately so you can try out your configuration before committing to it. The Web and Telnet Menu user interfaces will typically advise you if your configuration requires a restart to take effect.

In general, the configuration is not persisted permanently until you restart PowerAlert (or 'reboot' the SNMPWEBCARD). You should restart PowerAlert when your configuration is complete and before testing configurations that simulate or nearly simulate a power outage. For your convenience, most changes will auto-save after about 30 minutes of idle time. Changes to the network settings will not.

Restarting PowerAlert cannot cause equipment powered through your UPS or PDU to experience an outage and has no effect on the general operation of your Tripp Lite device.

2.2 Default UPS System Shutdown Settings

When used with a Tripp Lite UPS, during a power failure, SNMPWEBCARD is pre-configured to shut down the UPS system two minutes after receiving a low battery signal. This allows the UPS system to provide the maximum available runtime to connected equipment. If you want to change the default setting, follow these instructions and refer to Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2:

  1. Use a Web browser to open the PowerAlert console window for your SNMPWEBCARD (see 3.1 Opening the Web Console for instructions).
  2. Click the Actions menu A and access the Event Actions submenu B.
  3. Select Device Shutdown in the Device Shutdown Actions C section.
  4. Click the button on the bottom of the screen to add a new action.
  5. In the Name field E, type a name for the new action.

2.4 SNMP Configuration

SNMPWEBCARD allows a compatible Tripp Lite device to function as an SNMP-managed device on your network, using the SNMP agent and Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP agent resides in the SNMPWEBCARD firmware and responds to standard SNMP commands (Get, Get Next and Set). It can also generate SNMP traps (messages). The MIB determines which parameters can be monitored and controlled. Two MIB files—Tripplite.mib and RFC1628.mib—must be loaded on each Network Management Station that will monitor the managed device. (The files are provided on the CD-ROM included with the SNMPWEBCARD or network-enabled Tripp Lite device. Consult your Network Management Station software documentation for instructions on how to import MIB files.)

The Loads menu option will only appear if the device supports loads. The description field is an editable value. In order to save any changes made on this page, you must click the [Save] button at the bottom of the page.

You can control the outlets of the managed device by selecting the load and then clicking the appropriate [On], [Off] or [Cycle] button.

The load of connected equipment is displayed in amps, allowing you to see whether additional equipment can be added safely. (Load fluctuates with the power demands of connected equipment. It is prudent to limit the load to approximately 80% of maximum capacity in order to accommodate higher startup power demands and other increased power needs.)

If your device has controllable load banks, additional buttons allow you to control each load bank. (Each load bank consists of one or more outlets.) You can use the "Description" field to label the banks for easy reference. The main control buttons affect all outlets at once. Note: If the control buttons remain grayed out when a load is selected, this condition indicates the outlet is non-controllable.

Action profiles define responses to events and alarm conditions. The action profile allows the response to be defined once and applied to multiple alarm events. An action may be a response to the alarm condition or a response to the condition clearing. Where appropriate, the two actions may be the same.

You can configure action settings for several event types, including "On Battery" and "Battery Low." (Events vary by device.) You can configure several settings categories that specify actions to be executed when the selected event takes place.

3.6.1.1 Actions > Event Actions > Device Actions

Control Execution Actions

A control action is a device specific action that can be executed when an alarm trigger occurs. An example of a control action could be that when the battery age crosses the user defined threshold, a self test is automatically executed to see if the battery in a UPS is still in good condition. Since these are device specific, the control actions available on devices will vary from device to device.

Email Actions

An Email action is an action that will send emails to selected people in the address book when user-defined events are detected. It is possible to define multiple email actions so that different people are notified when different alarms are detected or different people are notified if the triggering event lasts longer than expected.

By default, an email action is set up to notify all email contacts in the address book 30 seconds after an event trigger.

The delay setting defines when the first email should be sent, while the count defines the number of emails to be sent. The interval is the delay between the sending of additional emails. If the count is set to 1, the interval time is ignored as only one email will be sent.

SNMP Set OID Actions

An SNMP Set OID action allows for the SNMPWEBCARD to set an SNMP value on another device on the network that will do something or set a value that the other network device will recognize and take some action based upon that SNMP value being set. An example of an application of this action is to have an SNMPWEBCARD in a UPS notify the network PDU that the UPS is power that the PDU is running on battery power. If utilizing a Tripp Lite PDU it is possible to execute the shed setting stored on the PDU to shed (turn off) equipment that is not necessary to extend the runtime of the UPS.

The OID to set on Tripp Lite PDU for shedding is

OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.850.100.1.8.3.3.0 - type integer and a value of 1

The OID to set on Tripp Lite PDU for ramping is

Clear OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.850.100.1.8.3.2.0 -type integer value of 1

SNMP Trap Actions

An SNMP Trap action is an action that will send SNMPv1 traps to selected destinations in the address book when selected events are detected. It is possible to define multiple email actions so that different people are notified when different alarms are detected or if the requirement is notify different people if the triggering event last longer then expected.

By default there is an SNMP Trap action set up to notify all SNMP contacts in the address book after 30 seconds.

The delay settings define when the first email should be sent and the number of emails to be sent. If set to 1 the interval time is ignored as it will only send one email, and the interval is the delay between additional emails being sent out.

To modify Address Book settings for each type of notification method, locate it in the 'Contacts' box on the left side of the page and edit the variable fields.

The "Email" tab shows a table of email contacts. Before your SNMPWEBCARD can send email notifications, you must add at least one email contact.

If you do not know the correct settings, contact your network administrator. To add an email contact, click the [+] button on the bottom of the screen to activate the next available row.

The "SNMP" tab shows a table of SNMP contacts. Before your SNMPWEBCARD can send an SNMP trap or SNMP set to an IP address, you must add at least one SNMP contact. To add an email contact, click the [+] button on the bottom of the screen to activate the next available row. (The standard port for SNMP set destinations is port 161. The standard port for SNMP trap recipients is port 162.)

Note: If adding an SNMP contact to be used with a SNMP Set Notification, use port 161 or the port number that the remote SNMP device can be accessed on. After adding Email and SNMP contacts, the user must set contacts for trap sending during events.

Note: You also need to configure and enable each event setting through the Configuration>Actions window before notifications can be sent to your contacts.

Figure 3-33: User Menu

There are three levels of user access

  • Read Only - The user may read the data but make no changes.
  • Read/Write - The user may not only read the data but make changes as well.
    • None - The user has no access to the data in the facility

There are five pre-defined users on the SNMPWEBCARD:

localadmin

This is the administrator account and has Read/Write access to all program areas. This user cannot be deleted or its facility access permission be modified, but the username and password may be changed from its default settings. The default password is same as the username. This user has SNMPv3 access.

localmanager

This account has default access as Read/Write to all areas except to the security area of the program. The default password is same as the username. This user has SNMPv3 access.

localguest

This account has read-only access to Device Status, Logging and Info areas of the program. The default password is same as the username. This user has SNMPv3 access.

public

This account is not a program user. It is a SNMPv1 Read-Only community

tripplite

This account is not a program user; it is a SNMPv2c Read/Write community. This is the default community string that Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent uses to discover Tripp Lite SNMP devices on the network.

Users 6-12 are not defined.

User Definition Menu Data

The following is the data that is used to define the local users. Not all data applies to all user types and will be identified accordingly.

SNMP Protocol

The SNMP Protocol is the first attribute to be defined for a user since it will need to determine what data items will be populated for the user. The valid values are:

- None

This user does not have any SNMP access.

- SNMP v1

This user is a SNMPv1 community definition. Only access through SNMP is allowed for this user.

- SNMPv2c

This user is a SNMPv2c community definition. Only access through SNMP is allowed for this user.

• SNMPV3

This user has SNMPv3 access as well as access through any of the other view interfaces.

User Name

For users with no SNMP and SNMPv3 access, the username is a string value 8 to 32 characters in length with no spaces.

Community

For SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c users, the community name is a string value 6 to 32 characters in length with no spaces. The only exception to the minimum length rule is the default community name "public." If the public community is deleted, it can be re-added and will not need to follow the 6 character minimum rule.

Facility permissions

This defines the access permissions for the user. A pop-up box will be presented to choose the facilities. The facilities are ways of grouping permission for related pieces of data. A user may have access to all or only a subset of the data.

Default- This is used to provide the default access for program access for each user. When adding a new user the default, permissions are set to No Access.

The individual areas listed below override the default setting for that program area.

Tripp Lite PDU3VS6L2130 - Facility permissions - 1

text_image default=none,security=... Blank "Access" = "default" Facility Access default none Security Network System Settings System info Logging Device Status Device Controls Device Events Device Loads Actions Schedules Discovery

Figure 3-34: Permissions

Security- This is the security data such as local user, RADIUS hosts definitions and authentication method. By default, security access is given to only the localadmin user.

Network Settings- This is all the network data.

System Settings- This includes all of the system settings. By default, access is given to localadmin and localmanager.

System Info- Provides Read Only access to the about, help, and system IP address

3. Web Console continued

3.8 Preferences continued

3.8.3 Preferences > Security continued

Logging- This facility allows access to logs and log rotation actions. Log rotation actions will only be available if the user has at least Read Only access to the Contacts facility.

Device Status- The facility provides access to all device variable information. These would include device status variables, personalization variables and threshold variables. By default, the localadmin and localmanager have 'Read/Write' access and localguest has 'Read Only' access. Any user that will have any access to any other device data should have at least 'Read Only' permissions for this facility.

Device Control- This facility configures whether a user has access to device controls. Since this is a subset of devices, it is required that the user has 'Read Only' access to device status to either view or control loads. Configuring this to no access will restrict a user from seeing the controls area of the program.

Device Events- This facility configures whether a user has access to device events. Since this is a subset of devices it is required that the user has 'Read Only' access to the device status and contacts facility to properly view or modify events. Configuring this to No Access will restrict a user from seeing events program area.

Device Loads- This facility configures whether a user has access to device loads. Since this is a subset of devices it is required that the user has "Read Only" access to device status to either view or control loads. Configuring this to No Access will restrict a user from seeing loads.

Actions- This facility is the program area that defines what will happen when an event/alarm is detected. Data used for actions is also included in this facility. This includes Email Recipients, SNMP Destinations and HTTP Contacts.

Schedules- To allow a user to add scheduled tasks requires that the user have Read/Write access to the device controls facilities.

Discovery- This facility is the program area that allows execution of a device discovery. This program area is most commonly used for detecting an Enviro sense temp/humidity probe that has been connected to the SNMPWEBCARD after initial startup.

Any changes applied to a user or multiple users must be confirmed by pressing the [Save] button at the bottom of the page.

Facility Choice Examples

Administrative Permissions

The permissions for a user with administrator level clearance should have access to all of the data in the system. The only facility permission needed would be Default facility with Read/Write access. These are the permissions given to the “localadmin” user created upon initial startup.

Manager Permissions

The permissions for a user with manager level clearance should have access to all of the data except for the security related data. The permissions set for this should be Default facility with Read/Write access and Security facility with no access. These are the permissions given to the “localmanager” user created upon initial startup.

Guest Permissions

The permissions for a user with guest level permissions should be very limited. This type of user would only have read only access to Status and very basic system level information. The facility settings for this type of user would be:

  • Default Facility – No Access
  • Info Facility – Read Only
  • Logging Facility – Read Only
    • Device Status Facility – Read Only

These are the permissions given to the “localguest” user created upon initial startup.

Limited Outlet Access Permissions

A user may be given permission to read limited data and to be given update access to control only a subset of the outlets. The facility settings to give that kind of access would be the following permissions:

  • Default Facility – No Access
    • Device Status Facility – Read Only
    • Device Loads Facility – Read Only

In addition to these facility settings, the user would need to assign a set of outlet realms to specify the loads the user may control.

Outlet Realms

This is a comma-separated list of integers, or range of integers, indicating which outlet realms this user may access. The access level to the realms indicated is Read/Write. Each load may optionally be assigned to a realm. Whatever loads belong to the realms indicated here, the user may access. In order to correctly access the data, a user should have at least Read Only permission for Device Status and Device Loads to be able to user the realms.

ACL IP Address (Users with SNMP Access Only)

This defines the IP Address (or Addresses when used with the ACL IP Mask) from which this user may access the data via SNMP.

Password (N/A for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c)

This is the user password for logging in. For SNMPv3 users, this is also the Priv Password.

Auth Password (N/A for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c)

For SNMPv3 Users only, this is the Auth Password.

Idle Timeout in Minutes (N/A for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c)

This applies to data access other than SNMP which does not use the concept of a logged in session. This is the amount of time that the session can be idle before it will time out and no longer have access to the data. When the value is 0, an idle session will not time out.

Session Expiration Minutes (N/A for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c)

This applies to data access other than SNMP which does not use the concept of a logged in session. This is the amount of total time that a session may last whether or not the session is idle or active. When the value is 0, the session will not expire.

AAA Preferences

Authorization Scheme

The authorization scheme defines how user authentication will be done. The authorization can be done with locally defined users only, RADIUS server defined users only or a combination of the two. The valid values are:

- Local Only

The system only uses locally defined user definitions.

- RADIUS Only

The system uses RADIUS only for authentication.

- Local Then RADIUS

The system uses locally defined user definitions first.

If the user data is not found, it uses RADIUS for authentication.

- RADIUS Then Local

The system uses RADIUS for authentication first, if not authorized via the RADIUS server, the locally defined users will be used for authentication.

The Accounting, Data and Event log settings allow you to define the number of records to be stored and persisted across a reboot of the SNMPWEBCARD. Once the maximum number of records is reached, the data is cleared; however, logs can be either emailed or posted to an HTTP or HTTPS server when the log rotates (clears) so that an ongoing history of data can be kept.

The maximum number of entries that can be in the log before it is rotated is 2048. The valid values are integers between 64 and 2048. The default is 2048.

The action to take when the log is rotated can be specifically defined via the menus. The log data may be archived to a single destination using email or HTTP.

The Watchdog settings provide the user with the ability to set up timers that will reboot the card automatically if the Watchdog trigger is reached. This provides a mechanism to maximize the uptime/accessibility of the SNMPWEBCARD. The Watchdog tab allows enabling/disabling of either the Ping probe or NTP probe.

Primary Ping Target: Address/hostname (requires DNS settings to be configured).

Secondary Ping Target: Address/hostname (requires DNS settings to be configured) (optional).

Ping Probe Interval: Time in minutes before retry.

Probe Tries Before Fail: The number of attempts to ping the primary and secondary IP addresses before the SNMPWEBCARD assumes there is a problem and reboots itself.

The SNMPWEBCARD will continue to reboot until it is successfully able to ping the primary or secondary IP address.

Primary NTP Target: Address/hostname (requires DNS settings to be configured).

Secondary NTP Target: Address/hostname (requires DNS settings to be configured) (optional).

NTP Probe Interval: Time in minutes before retry.

The Auto Ack setting allows for alarms that clear to be automatically removed from the Status-Alarms page. This is enabled by default. Disabling this feature will require that the alarms be manually acknowledged on the Status-Alarms page. This setting must be enabled if utilizing the PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent.

3.8.5 Preferences > Restart

The restart menu provides the user with an interface to restart the SNMPWEBCARD.

If there has been a setting that requires a system restart, the message "Changes have been made that require a restart to take effect" will be displayed on this menu. This message can only be cleared with a restart. Changing the settings back to their original values cannot clear this condition.

A user can reset their PowerAlert (and SNMPWEBCARD) configuration back to the factory defaults using this menu.

Press [Execute] at the bottom of the page in order for the restart to take place.

Resets affect the following settings:

Factory Reset Settings

Reset all settings to the original factory defaults except for the SNMPWEBCARD network settings. Resetting those settings would potentially disable desired connections to the system. If necessary, the SNMPWEBCARD network settings can be reset by clearing the Advanced Settings following a factory reset using the serial CLI boot dialog, which is accessible as described in the SNMPWEBCARD Installation Manual.

The changes made for this request are:

- Reset NVRAM to hard-coded defaults, resets everything except

o - IPv4 choice of DHCP or Static

  • IPv4 saved static Address, IPv4 Subnet Mask, IPv4 Gateway
  • IPv6 DHCPv6 Enable / Disable setting
  • IPv6 Static Enable / Disable setting
  • IPv6 saved Static Address & Prefix Length
  • User-configured DNS server.

  • Erase the user configuration and system log database

  • Reset the Root password back to TrippLite
    Reset the default user settings, including clearing any RADIUS settings. The following are cleared by this option:
  • Authorization Settings for authorization and accounting both reset to LOCAL ONLY
  • Removes all RADIUS Server definitions
  • Resets the local users to the 5 default users, localadmin, localmanager, localguest, tripplite, and public

4. Telnet/SSH Console

Most of the monitoring and control features available in the Web console (see Section 3 – Web Console) are also available in the telnet and/or SSH console. Accessing the SNMPWEBCARD through the telnet console is ideal for mobile or resource-limited platforms.

Configuring Energywise

If you intend to use the SNMPWEBCARD's Energywise facility, refer to the Energywise instruction manual for details on how to configure this interface. This manual is included in the documentation package for the SNMPWEBCARD.

Accessing the Telnet Console

Open a telnet client and connect to the IP number of the SNMPWEBCARD. At the login prompt, enter a valid user name and password. (A valid user is any user defined locally via RADIUS server. Users defined as SNMP communities with SNMP version V1 or V2 will not be allowed telnet access.) After a successful login, you'll see the telnet console's main menu (Figure 4-1).

The Telnet Console Interface

The telnet console uses a menu-driven, text-based interface. It has most of the same menus and submenus as the Web console, but they are arranged differently.

Figure 4-2: Telnet Console Device Submenu

Each menu can be thought of as one of four types: navigation, summary, detail and data collection.

Navigational Menus allow a user to choose a path down the menu structure. Any data presented on these navigational menus are for information only and will require continuing down into a submenu to make any modifications.

Summary Menus

Data items that can have multiple instances will also have a summary menu. For example, the Email Recipients will have a summary menu. The summary will display a row for each member with a subset of the data for that object.

From the summary, a user may enter an ID number from the list to view/modify the detail menu for that item. If insert is allowed for the data, the user will be presented with the option to enter '0' as well. When '0' is chosen, the user is then automatically prompted to enter the individual detail menu items. Once all items have been entered, the user will be prompted to save the information, view the information, or abort the insert.

Detail Menus

The detail menus display the information about a collection of related individual data items. An example of a detail menu would the menu for a single Email Recipient. From the detail menu, a user will be given the option to choose to modify the individual data items. When allowed, deletes will be done from the detail menus.

Some detail menus will immediately update the data as entered and others will collect all the data changes and require the user to explicitly save the data in one operation. Those that require an explicit save will present an 'A' option to apply the changes. If a user has pending changes and attempts to leave the menu, an indication that the changes have not been saved will be presented and give the user the option to save or abort the changes.

Data Collection Menus

Data collection menus allow a user to enter values for an individual data item. For example, the menu to update an Email Recipient's email address would be a data collection menu. These menus do not have any submenus.

The menu descriptions in this documentation will assume that the user has Read/Write permissions to all of the data. Not all users will have this level of authorization.

The data displayed and the options presented to a given user will be dependent upon that user's permissions. A user will only be presented with data and options to the data that he or she is allowed to access. A more detailed discussion of user permissions can be found in the discussion on Local User definitions later in the document.

Note: The menu examples were generated using one specific device model. Because the content of many of the device specific menus will vary based upon the device and protocol, these are simply examples to give an idea of the type of data displayed here and how it is formatted. The contents of these menus should not necessarily be expected to be displayed unless it is explicitly stated that the setting apply for all device types.

4. Telnet/SSH Console continued

Main Menu

The main menu is the starting menu when a user accesses the Telnet interface. It contains the entry point for all of the pieces of the system data. All other menus are accessible from the main menu.

To help keep the user informed about active alarms, the current list of active alarms is always displayed as part of the main menu.

4.1.5 Loads

To access the load menus, the user must have at least Read access to the DEVICE LOADS and DEVICE STATUS facilities. Additionally, a user may be able to update Loads options by accessing outlet realms.

You can control the outlets of a managed device by selecting the load plugged into it and clicking the desired [On], [Off] or [Cycle] control. Each load bank consists of one or more outlets.

You can use the "Description" field to label the banks for easy reference. The main control buttons affect all outlets at once.

Warning! The load controls start or stop the flow of electricity to your device's outlets. Make sure you know what equipment is connected to each load bank before attempting to use these controls! Check the outlet labels and/or test the load banks by plugging a circuit tester or small light into each outlet and observing the effects of the controls.

4.1.5.1 Load Configuration

Edit Description

Use this menu to enter custom labels for load banks. This can be used to help identify equipment quickly and easily before using the controls to cycle the bank ON or OFF.

Change Realm

Assigning a realm to an individual outlet or group of outlets creates a logical grouping that can be used to assign user access.

4.2.2 Global Actions

4.2.2.1 Action Profiles

Action profiles define responses to events and alarm conditions. The action profile allows the response to be defined once and applied to multiple alarm events. An action may be a response to the alarm condition or a response to the condition clearing. Where appropriate, the two actions may be the same.

1- Email Notification Profiles 2- Device Shutdown Profiles 3- SNMP Set OID Profiles 4- SNMP Trap Notification Profiles 5- Load Control Action Profiles 6- Ramp Action Profiles 7- Shed Action Profiles 8- Control Execution Action Profiles X/M- Return to Main Menu Refresh Menu

Common Action Data

All action profiles, unless otherwise noted, have the data described in this section.

Name

All actions have a unique identifying name.

Delay

All actions have a delay in seconds. This is the amount of time before the action fires after the event occurs. When an action is the response to the action clearing, the delay is ignored and is done immediately.

Common Data

In addition to the common values for name and delay, the notification actions also allow the notifications to be sent multiple times until the event condition has been cleared. The additional data to support that is an interval and count.

Interval

This data applies to only Email and SNMP Trap Notifications. The interval allows the notification to be sent multiple times while the alarm condition is present. The interval is the amount of time in seconds before sending the next notification. The valid values are:

  • 0 – the notification is sent only once
  • Integer greater than or equal to 15 – the notification will be sent after this interval has elapsed and the alarm condition is still present

Count

This data applies to only Email and SNMP Trap Notifications. The count determines the number of times that the notification will be sent. The valid values are:

  • 0 – valid only if interval is not 0. This implies that the notification should be sent until the alarm condition is cleared.
  • 1 – valid only if interval is 0. The notification is sent only once.
  • Integer greater than 1. This is a finite number of times that the notification will be sent while the alarm condition is still present.

Control

This is the control to be executed by the action.

Control Data

Some controls have additional data. For those controls, the data settings may be changed.

4.2.2.1.5 Applying Actions to Events

Choosing this option begins the process of assigning the action to events. Each event has both a "Set" and a "Clear" action associated with it. The action being updated must be used for the "Set" action or both "Set" and "Clear" actions, as appropriate. Ramp actions are only allowed to be used for the "Clear" action and will not be present this option. The steps necessary to assign the actions to events are as follows:

  1. Choose "Set" and "Clear" action pair.
  2. Choose events that the use "Set" and "Clear" actions.

Choosing the Set and Clear Actions

Once all of the data for an action profile has been saved, the user will have the option to apply the action to events. The next step presented depends upon the type of action profile being updated. The action profile being updated will at least be the "Set" action, unless the action type is not allowed to be used for the set action. At this time, the only type of action that cannot be used for the set action is Ramp action.

Actions to Using Both Set and Clear

For Email and SNMP Trap notifications, the same action is automatically used for both “Set” and “Clear” responses. The menu will proceed directly to choosing the events to correspond to these actions.

Actions Types Allowed for Set Only

Shed action profiles are only allowed to be used as the "Set" action on events. In the menu, only the option to use the action for "Set" will be given. The following is an example of the menu displayed for this action profile type.

---- Actions Set/Clear ----

Using Action For Alarm Condition
S- Continue to Apply to Device Events
X- None
M- Return to Main Menu
<ENTER> Refresh Menu 

Action Types Allowed for Clear Only

Ramp Action profiles are only allowed to be used in conjunction with Shed Action profiles and, therefore, must be a “Clear” action on events. Since the “Set” action must be chosen before the “Clear” action, the Ramp action will not be present in the “Set” menu and cannot be the first action applied to an event.

Action Types Allowed for Both Set and Clear

The action types not already covered are allowed to be used for both the event "Set" and "Clear" actions. Unlike the notification actions, where it is desirable for the "Set" and "Clear" action to be the same, the preference for these actions is that the "Set" and "Clear" actions be of the same type but not the same action. The types covered here are Load Control Actions, Control Execution and SNMP Set OID. The following is an example of the menu presented for these action types.

4.2.2.1.5 Applying Actions to Events continued

Using Action for Set Action

The action will be used for the "Set" action only. The user will be given the option to choose the "Clear" action before continuing on to select events.

Using Action for Both Set and Clear Action

The action will be used for both "Set" and "Clear" and the user can immediately continue on to choose events.

Choosing Clear Action

This is skipped if action is to be used for both “Set” and “Clear” action, or the user chose not to include a “Clear” action. The action chosen for the “Clear” action must be the same type as the “Set” action. The list of available actions will be presented. If none of the actions match what the user would like to happen on the clear, the user may choose to insert a new action.

Choosing an existing action

The number of the existing action is chosen and the user moves on to select events.

Choosing to create a new action

The user is placed into insert mode and prompted for the settings for the new actions. Once the insert of the new action is completed, it is chosen as the "Clear" action and the user is moved on to select events.

Device ID

This field selects the device to which the schedule is to be applied.

Pending Action

This field indicates the action to be fired according to the schedule.

Time

This setting controls the time that the scheduled action will be fired. The time and date chosen must be in the future. The default setting is 10 minutes from the current time.

Date/Start Date

For schedules that will only fire once, this is the date that the scheduled control will be executed.

For all other schedules, this is the start date for scheduling the control to be executed. The date and time chosen must be in the future. The default setting is the current date.

Interval

The interval is valid only for daily, weekly and monthly schedules. This is the number of days, weeks or months between executions of the chosen control. For example, an interval of 2 for a daily schedule means that it would happen every other day. The default for interval is 1.

Day of Week

This is the day of the week that the scheduled control should be executed. It is used for weekly schedules and for monthly/yearly schedules using a relative day selection such as "first Thursday."

Day of Month

This setting is used for monthly and yearly schedules. It specifies the day of the month that the schedule should be executed.

Month

This setting is used for yearly schedules only. This is the month that the yearly scheduled control should be executed.

Relative Days

This setting is used for monthly and yearly schedules. It allows a relative day of a month to be specified. The valid relative day selection are:

  • First
  • Second
  • Third
  • Fourth
  • Last

It is used in combination with the day of the week to choose a relative day of the month like “last Friday” for a monthly schedule or “third Thursday of July” for a yearly schedule.

Until

For daily, weekly, monthly and yearly schedules, the user also needs to specify how long the schedule is in effect. The valid choices are:

  • Forever – the schedule will executed until it is deleted
  • End Date – the schedule will be executed until the specified date.
  • Number of Repetitions – the schedule will be executed for the specified number of times.

Automatic Removal of Schedule

A schedule will be automatically removed when it has fired for the last time. The conditions that will cause the schedule to be removed are:

  • One time schedule has been executed.
    • The Until End Date has been reached.
  • The Until Number of Repetitions has been reached.

Note: To have access to the schedules menus, the user must have at least Read access to the SCHEDULES facility. Because controls and loads can be scheduled, the user should have at least read access to the DEVICE CONTROLS and DEVICE LOADS facilities as well.

Authorization Scheme

The authorization scheme defines how user authentication will be done. The authorization can be done with locally defined users only, RADIUS server defined users only or a combination of the two. The valid values are:

- Local Only

The system only uses locally defined user definitions.

- RADIUS Only

The system uses RADIUS only for authentication.

- Local Then RADIUS

The system uses locally defined user definitions first. If the user data is not found, it uses RADIUS for authentication.

- RADIUS Then Local

The system uses RADIUS for authentication first. If not authorized via the RADIUS server, the locally defined users will be used for authentication.

Accounting Scheme

This defines where the user session accounting data will be recorded. Like the authorization, the data can be recorded locally or on the RADIUS server or a combination of the two. The valid values are:

- Local Only

Uses only the local system to record the session accounting data.

- RADIUS Only

Uses only the RADIUS servers defined to record the session accounting data.

- Local Then RADIUS

Tries to record the session accounting data locally and if not able to, then tries to record to RADIUS.

- RADIUS Then Local

Tries to record the session accounting data on RADIUS first and if fails, then records locally

4.2.3.2 Local Users

This menu is used to define the local users. Local users include SNMP v3 users and SNMP v1/v2c communities which must be defined locally. RADIUS authentication may not be used for SNMP access. There are a total of 12 users that may be defined with 5 default users being created initially. Available slots will be identified in the user summary table with the name/community of "User Not Defined."

The following is the data that is used to define the users. Not all data applies to all user types and will be identified accordingly.

SNMP Protocol

The SNMP Protocol is the first attribute to be defined for a user since it will need to be used to determine what data items need to be populated for the user. The valid values are:

- None

This user does not have any SNMP access allowed.

- SNMP v1

This user is a SNMPv1 community definition. Only access through SNMP is allowed for this user.

- SNMPv2c

This user is a SNMPv2c community definition. Only access through SNMP is allowed for this user.

• SNMPV3

This user has SNMPv3 access as well as access through any of the other view interfaces.

Username (SNMPv3 and No SNMP Access Users)

This is the username. It is a string value which is 8 to 32 characters long with no spaces.

Community (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c Users)

This is the SNMP community name. It is a string value which is 8 to 32 characters long with no spaces.

Permission

This defines the access permissions for the user.

Facilities

The facilities are ways of grouping permission for related pieces of data. A user may have access to all or only a subset of the data. The options for each facility are Read Only, Read/Write and No Access.

Default

The default facility setting defines the data access that a user has for any data that does not have another explicit facility assignment. When adding a new user, the default permissions are set to No Access.

Security

This is the security data such as local user and RADIUS hosts definitions, and authentication method. By default, security access is given to only the localadmin user.

Contacts

This facility allows users to view or add contacts in the address book.

System Settings

This includes all of the system and network settings. By default, access is given to localadmin and localmanager.

Info

This is additional system wide information. Currently this facility covers the IPV4 and IPV6 Address definitions. This facility provides Read Only access.

4. Telnet/SSH Console continued

4.2 System Configuration continued

4.2.3.2 Local Users continued

Logging

This facility allows access to logs and log rotation actions. Log rotation actions will only be available if the user has at least Read Only access to the Contacts facility.

Device Status

The facility provides access to all device variable information. These would include device status variables, personalization variables and threshold variables. By default, the localadmin and localmanager have Read/Write access and localguest has only Read Only access.

Device Controls

This facility configures whether a user has access to device controls. Since this is a subset of devices, it is required that the user has Read Only access to device status to either view or control loads. Configuring this to No Access will restrict a user from seeing the controls area of the program.

Device Events

This facility configures whether a user has access to device events. Since this is a subset of devices it is required that the user has Read Only access to the device status and contacts facility to properly view or modify events. Configuring this to No Access will restrict a user from seeing events program area.

Device Loads

This facility configures whether a user has access to device loads. Since this is a subset of devices it is required that the user has Read Only access to device status to either view or control loads. Configuring this to No Access will restrict a user from seeing loads.

Actions

This facility is the program area that defines what will happen when an event/alarm is detected. For a user to be able to setup any action requires that the user have Read/Write access to the facilities, device loads, device controls and at least Read Only access to the contacts facility.

Schedules

To allow a user to add scheduled tasks requires that the user have Read/Write access to the device controls facilities.

Discovery

This facility is the program area that allows execution of a device discovery. This program area is most commonly used for detecting an ENVIROSENSE temp/humidity probe that has been connected to the SNMPWEBCARD after initial startup.

Access Levels

- Read Only

The user may read the data but make no changes.

- Read Write

The user may not only read the data but make changes as well.

- None

The user has no access to the data in the facility

Facility Rules and Dependencies

Outlet Realms

Outlet realms are an integer between 1 and 32 used to identify a logical grouping of outlets to be used to limit a user's access to a subset of outlets. In the user definition, it is a comma separated list of realms or range of realms that the user may access. Each load may be assigned a single realm and multiple outlets may use the same realm.

For example, a PDU may be powering devices at a co-hosting facility where Customer One has all of his equipment connected to Circuit 1 of a 3-phase PDU, Customer Two is on Circuit 2, and Customer Three is on Circuit 3. This PDU may have outlets 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22 on Circuit 1, outlets 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20 and 24 on Circuit 2 and outlets 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 23 on Circuit 3. The outlets on Circuit 1 could be assigned to Realm 5. The outlets on Circuit 2 could be assigned to Realm 7 and the outlets on Circuit 3 could be assigned to Realm 9. The user realm mapping would be Realm 5 for Customer One, Realm 7 for Customer Two and Realm 9 for Customer Three. Assigning the realm to the user gives Read/Write access only for the outlets assigned to the users' realms, meaning they will be able to turn On or Off outlets only in the same realm.

Although the concept of realms may seem similar to outlet groups, it provides no other grouping functionality other than permissions.

The access level to the realms indicated is Read/Write. Each load may optionally be assigned to a realm. Whatever loads belong to the realms indicated here, the user may access. In order to correctly access the data, a user should have at least Read Only permission for Device Status and Device Loads to be able to user the realms.

192.168.1.0 (range)255.255.255.0

192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 (everyone)0.0.0.0

ACL IP Address (Users with SNMP Access Only) This defines what IP Address (or Addresses when used with the ACL IP Mask) from which this user may access the data via SNMP.

ACL IP Mask (Users with SNMP Access Only)

This defines the Subnet Mask to user with the ACL IP Address to determine if an address is one from which the user is allowed to access the data via SNMP.

Password (N/A for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c)

This is the user password for logging in. For SNMP V3 users, this is the Priv Password.

Auth Password (N/A for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c)

For SNMP v3 Users only, this is the Auth Password.

Idle Timeout in Minutes (N/A for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c)

This applies to data access other than SNMP which does not use the concept of a logged in session. This is the amount of time that the session can be idle before it will time out and no longer have access to the data. When the value is 0, that means that idle sessions will not time out.

Session Expiration Minutes (N/A for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c)

This applies to data access other than SNMP which does not use the concept of a logged in session. This is the amount of total time that a session may last whether or not the session is idle or active. When the value is 0, the session will not expire.

Reset to Factory Settings on Restart

Reset all settings to the original factory defaults except for the network settings. Since the SNMPWEBCARD has a functioning network connection with the current configuration, the network settings are not cleared. Resetting network settings would potentially disable desired connections to the system. If necessary, the SNMPWEBCARD network settings can be reset by clearing the Advanced Settings following a factory reset using the serial CLI boot dialog, which is accessible as described in the SNMPWEBCARD Installation Manual.

Reset Default Users on Restart

Reset the default user settings including clearing any RADIUS settings as well. The following are cleared by this option:

  • Authorization Settings for authorization and accounting both reset to LOCAL ONLY
  • Removes all RADIUS Server definitions
  • Resets the local users to the 5 default users, localadmin, localmanager, localguest, tripplite and public.
  • Resets the Root password back to TrippLite

Method

The method used to determine the IPV4 Address associated with the SNMPWEBCARD. The valid values are STATIC and DHCP.

The value STATIC means that a user defined fixed IPV4 address will be used by the card. When this option is chosen, the user must also supply the subnet mask and gateway.

The value DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used to dynamically assign the IPV4 address at initialization. When DHCP option is chosen, the user cannot change the subnet mask or the gateway.

Address

Only applies when method is STATIC. This is the user-defined fixed IPV4 address.

Subnet Mask

Only applies when method is STATIC. This is user-defined subnet mask.

Gateway

Only applies when method is STATIC. This is the user-defined gateway address.

4.3.1.4 IPV6 Settings

This menu displays current IPV6 settings and allows a user to toggle the dynamic host configuration protocol and method. There can be up to six IPV6 addresses for the card. Only two of these are impacted by this menu. A user may choose to have one IPV6 Address determined through DHCP and one set statically. Any others that appear in the list have been automatically assigned by the card's software. They are shown here because they are valid IP addresses and can be used to route to the card. These addresses will have a method of AUTO.

  • Critical
  • Error
  • Warning
  • Notice
  • Info
  • Debug
  • Trace

The values in this list are equivalent to the Severity values as defined in RFC 4524. The two values that do not match our choices are "Disabled," which is used to turn off logging to the server without removing the definition, and "Trace" which is a more detailed severity level for debug. This will be mapped to the Debug Syslog Severity level. The default log level is "Disabled."

Facility

5. Command Line Interface

The SNMPWEBCARD 12.06.006X firmware adds support for new features on the command line interface (CLI). Many of the functional controls available in the Web console and Telnet interface are now available on the command line interface. The CLI allows for the use of user-created scripts and easier integration with third party systems.

The CLI can be accessed on the SNMPWEBCARD via the management serial port, via SSH on the default port 2112, and via Telnet on the default port 5214. For security purposes, some features are only enabled on the serial and SSH interfaces. (Refer to section 4.3.2 for more information on starting the CLI from the Telnet or SSH menu.)

This section of the user manual will familiarize you with the way the CLI interprets your input and the meaning of the CLI output.

5.1 Syntax Conventions

The PowerAlert CLI uses its own standard syntax to interpret your input. The syntax defines standard conventions which are used to describe any problems with the input. The next definitions are important for understanding the rest of this document and the CLI error messages.

  1. Program - The 'program' refers to the software module that will interpret the user input and perform the work.
  2. Program Name - The command keyword that is typed to invoke the program.
  3. Directive - The entire phrase entered, including the program name and any arguments. The directive is broken down into several parts of grammar, like a sentence.
  4. Mode - The mode tells the program what to do with your arguments. A program can usually perform several different operations on the same data. Program modes are: List, Add, Update, Delete, and Test. In some programs, the mode can be inferred without your specification; in other programs, entering the mode will be required.
  5. Mode Modifier - If the mode alone can't describe your request, the program will have a mode modifier list. The mode modifier usually specifies 'what' to list and 'where' and 'what' to add, update, or delete.
  6. Identifier - The update and delete modes support entering a numeric identifier to choose what data your new input will affect. The list mode often allows an optional identifier to display more information about a single set of data.
  7. Option - The option precedes your input parameter and specifies which value you are updating. An option will always begin with a dash followed by a letter or double dash followed by a number or word.
  8. Parameter - If an option requires a parameter, the parameter will follow the option or be appended to the option (for example when choosing SNMPv3: '--v3').

The directive syntax breaks down along the grammatical boundaries shown below.

Tripp Lite PDU3VS6L2130 - Syntax Conventions - 1

text_image ----Directive---- ----Preamble-----|------Predicate---- -Program--|-Mode-|-Mode Modifier-|-Identifier-|----Option List---- |-Subject--|-Verb-|-Direct Object-----|----Indirect Object (List)---- addrbook -u email 4 --name santa --email santa@morthpole.org

All pieces of syntax are separated with single spaces. The interface does not support input containing spaces at this time, and the input cannot include a single quote character.

5. Command Line Interface continued

5.2 Manual Pages

Each program has its own man page (short for 'manual page') built right into the software. You will not have to remember long lists of directives. The information you need is available any time by typing 'man' followed by the program name.

The program synopsis in each program manual page describes the format of the directive and the valid modes and options for the program. The synopsis uses a familiar format to indicate when you should enter your own data and when you should type exactly what you see. The typical synopsis format interpretation is show in the next table.

Synopsis Format Interpretation of the Format
< > Angle brackets mean the argument is required.
[ ] Square brackets mean the argument is optional.
| The vertical bar is used to separate mutually exclusive choices.
... A list of space-separated parameters can be entered here.
You must enter a value. The value is chosen by you. The ‘word’ loosely describes what the value is supposed to mean.
You must enter a value. The value is exactly either ‘a’ or ‘b’.
[--word] The ‘--word’ option is optional, but if used then ‘value’ is required.
--wordThe ‘--word’ option supports a list of parameters separated by spaces. The values are chosen by you. You do not append a ‘1’ or ‘N’ onto your input. Usually the values in a list are data identifiers, but they are sometimes preceded by a ‘+’ or ‘-’ indicating your choice to add or remove the identifier within the directive’s context.

5.3 Output Conventions

Additions, updates and deletions usually result in simple output messages prefixed with either an error code or a data identifier return code followed by a colon and a short result string. The prefixes are described in the next table.

Result Prefix Interpretation of the Result Prefix
X00:The ‘X’ indicates that program is responding with an error. If available, the error code will follow the ‘X’, and the result string will contain an error message.
00:The program is indicating a success message if no ‘X’ is preceding the return value. If the number is non-zero, the return value is the data identifier of the last piece of data used. For example, in add mode, the return value will be the data identifier of the new data. To update this data later, provide the same identifier to the update mode.
YN: The program is requesting a Yes or No confirmation before taking action.
QQ: The program is requesting additional input that is not a simple Yes or No.
...: The program has dispatched your request and it should happen in a few moments.

5.4 Getting Started with the PowerAlert CLI

Remember, most of your configuration changes will take effect immediately so you can try out your configuration before committing to it. However, the changes are not saved permanently until you 'reboot' the SNMPWEBCARD. You should reboot when your configuration is complete and prior to testing configurations that simulate a power outage. Refer to Section 2 for additional information.

When you first log in to the CLI, you can type 'help' to invoke the 'help' program and see a list of all programs. Each program does only a small amount of the work, and programs can be used in succession to accomplish a task. The next paragraphs describe example goals and which programs can be used together to accomplish them.

Note: Most programs are available only after the system has fully booted.

5. Command Line Interface continued

How Do I ...

See the list of available programs?

  1. Use the 'help' program to display all available programs.

See the manual for any program?

  1. Use the 'man' program to display the manual for any program. It is invoked by typing 'man ' without the angle brackets and the 'program name' replaced by the name of the program you are interested in.

See my devices?

  1. Use the program 'devmgr' to view the list of devices and individual device details.
  2. Use the program 'devselect' to choose a device to work with.

See my device status?

  1. Use the program 'devstatus' to view the device status (called 'variables').
  2. Use the program 'alarm' to view the active alarms.

Set the time?

  1. Use either 'hwclock' to change the Real-Time Clock (RTC) or 'ntpcfg' to change the network time settings.
  2. Use either 'hwclock' to synchronize the system clock or skip ahead and use 'reboot' to persist the changes and synchronize automatically on the next restart.

Set up email?

  1. Use the program 'addrbook' to add your email addresses.
  2. Use the program 'emailcfg' to configure outgoing email.
  3. [Optional] Use the 'action' program to create an email action. Do this if you want to add only a few of the email addresses or if you want to make the system delay before emailing.
  4. [Optional] Use the 'actcfg' program to assign the email action to alarm triggers. By default an email action is already assigned to all alarms, but if you made a new action you will assign it yourself.

Control my power protection device loads?

  1. [Optional] Use the program 'loadcfg' to configure ramp and shed settings and create load groups.
  2. Use the program 'loadctl' to control loads and load groups, the main load, and execute ramp or shed sequences.

Add a user or SNMP Community?

  1. Use the program 'user' to add or modify local user accounts & SNMP communities.
  2. Use the program 'passwd' to set the password for any new non-SNMP account, which will cause the account to activate.
  3. [Optional] Use the 'snmpcfg' program to modify SNMP protocol access.

Reset PowerAlert to factory default settings?

  1. Use the program 'freset' to reset all user data to factory default.
  2. Use the 'reboot' program to bring the system down and back up with factory default settings.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter a problem:

  • Confirm that the SNMPWEBCARD is turned on.
  • Check all connections and confirm that they are secure.

  • Refer to the following list of problems and implement any recommended solutions.

  • If the problem persists after trying the recommended steps, contact Tripp Lite Technical Support.
Problem Possible Solution
The IP address of the SNMPWEBCARD is unknown.If your network’s DHCP server assigned an IP address to the SNMPWEBCARD, contact your network administrator to discover the IP address assigned to the card or view it during terminal session at boot-up. You’ll need to know the MAC address of the SNMPWEBCARD. If your network does not use DHCP, or if you need to assign a static IP address for another reason, follow the instructions for assigning a static IP address via terminal mode configuration. Refer to the printed manual that came with your SNMPWEBCARD or Tripp Lite device for more information.
Unable to perform SNMP get operations.Check the SNMP settings of the SNMPWEBCARD (See Section 3.8.2). The IP address and community name of the device or application trying to perform the SNMP get operation must be entered in “NMS Access Settings” with “Read Only” or “Read/Write” permission.
Unable to perform SNMP set operations.Check the SNMP settings of the SNMPWEBCARD (See Section 3.8.2). The IP address and community name of the device or application trying to perform the SNMP set operation must be entered in “NMS Access Settings” with “Read/Write” permission.
Unable to receive traps at your management station.Check the SNMP settings of the SNMPWEBCARD (See Section 3.8.2). Verify that you have added an SNMP trap action profile to send traps to the IP address of the management station of choice. See Section 3.6 for configuring actions.
Unable to use autodiscovery to find the agent from your management station.Check the SNMP settings of the SNMPWEBCARD (See Section 3.8.2). The IP address and community name of the management station must be entered in “NMS Access Settings” with “Read/Write” permission. Versions below 12.04.0040 are not supported.
SNMPWEBCARD email notifications are not working.Verify that you have added an email action profile to send emails to the appropriate destination entered in the address book. See Section 3.6 for configuring actions.

Configuring RADIUS Authentication in PowerAlert

PowerAlert 062 supports RADIUS authentication, authorization and accounting. In addition to configuring PowerAlert to use RADIUS, one or more RADIUS servers must be configured to provide the appropriate exchange of information. This document assumes the following:

  • The user understands the steps necessary to configure one or more RADIUS hosts in PowerAlert
  • The user understands the steps necessary to configure PowerAlert to use RADIUS for authentication and/or accounting either as a sole option or in relationship to local authentication and/or accounting
  • Some flavor of RADIUS server has been installed and configured and is accessible by PowerAlert

For the rest of this document, when we reference a specific RADIUS server type, we will be using FreeRadius (www.freeradius.org) as our default. Your specific configuration may vary.

Configuring the Dictionary

This refers to the definition of the attributes that can be exchanged between a RADIUS server and a RADIUS client, in this case PowerAlert. Sample A of this document shows a sample 'dictionary.triplite' configuration for use with a FreeRadius server.

The first thing that needs to be configured is a Vendor ID for TrippLite; the assigned code is 850. This is necessary so that the vendor-specific attributes that PowerAlert will send to the RADIUS server are understood and accepted. Likewise, it allows the server to respond with vendor-specific information. The configuration requires and defines three string attributes.

TrippLite-Authorization

This string contains the authorization definition for a defined user. It is how PowerAlert determines what facilities within PowerAlert may be accessed or modified by a given user.

TrippLite-Outlet-Realms

This string contains the individual outlet realms for which a user is granted access. This is how PowerAlert has implemented user-controlled outlets.

TrippLite-Message

This is a simple string containing a textual message that will be sent from PowerAlert to the RADIUS server during the accounting process.

Once the dictionary has been configured, the RADIUS server should now understand how to handle information exchange with PowerAlert.

Configuring the Users

Each user requires a unique configuration. For the sample FreeRadius server, those entries go into a single file called "users." A sample of the configuration file is given in Sample B.

Sample Administrative User

This entry in the user table defines a sample administrative user for PowerAlert:

radiusadmin Cleartext-Password := "radiusadmin"

Reply-Message = "Hello, %{User-Name}",

TrippLite-Authorization = "default=rw",

Session-Timeout = 2400,

Idle-Timeout = 1200

This entry defines a user with the name of 'radiusadmin' and a password of 'radiusadmin'. It is important to note that PowerAlert will only generate authentication requests with a Cleartext-Password; no other exchange mechanism is supported at this time.

The Reply-Message line simply indicates a textual response sent back if the user authenticates successfully. It is not required by PowerAlert but is a standard component of a response to an authentication request.

The TrippLite-Authorization string is required in all successful authentication responses. Failure to return said string will default the user to no authorization. In this case, as described in the dictionary, this user has default Read-Write access to all of the facilities within PowerAlert.

The Session-Timeout and Idle-Timeout strings are not defined in the dictionary. They are not vendor-specific attributes but are instead part of the standard RADIUS configuration defined by RFC 2865.

Session-Timeout “sets the maximum number of seconds of service to be provided to the user before termination of the session or prompt. This Attribute is available to be sent by the server to the client in an Access-Accept or Access-Challenge.” In the case of PowerAlert, if this value is not sent, a user’s session will never timeout.

Idle-Timeout “sets the maximum number of consecutive seconds of idle connection allowed to the user before termination of the session or prompt. This Attribute is available to be sent by the server to the client in an Access-Accept or Access-Challenge.” In the cause of PowerAlert, if this value is not sent, a user’s session will never expire due to inactivity.

Sample Managerial User

This entry in the user table defines a sample managerial user for PowerAlert:

radiusmanager Cleartext-Password := "radiusmanager"

Reply-Message = "Hello, %{User-Name}",

TrippLite-Authorization =

"default=rw,security=ro",

Session-Timeout = 1200,

Idle-Timeout = 600

For the most part, this is identical to the administrative account above: A user name and password on the first line, a Reply-Message on the second line, and a Tripplite-Authorization string on the third line. We end the entry with slightly shorter Session-Timeout and Idle-Timeout entries. The only major difference between the default manager and the default administrator is that the manager is explicitly denied Write access to the security facility, meaning they can view security resources, such as user accounts and authentication schemes, but not change them.

8. Appendix

Sample Guest User

This entry in the user table defines a sample guest user for PowerAlert:

radiusguest Cleartext-Password := "radiusguest" 
Reply-Message = "Hello, %{User-Name}", 
TrippLite-Authorization = "default=ro,security=none", 
TrippLite-Outlet-Realms = "1-10,31", 
Session-Timeout = 600, 
Idle-Timeout = 300 

Once again, the format remains fairly standard in terms of username, password, Reply-Message and timeout parameters. The shorter idle and session timeout values reflect the limited scope of access. The two major changes are in the TrippLite-Authorization and TrippLite-Outlet-Realm definitions. The guest user has read-only access to all facilities by default and explicitly has no access to the security realm. This gives the guest the ability to monitor PowerAlert but not change any of the configuration.

This is also the only entry with a TrippLite-Outlet-Realm definition. In this case, while the guest can monitor the rest of the system, they have been provided the ability to control individual outlets on devices that support them that fall within the realms of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 31. In this manner, an account can be restricted to only be able to change the state of those specific outlets.

Configuring Client Access

Once the dictionary and user configurations are in place, the RADIUS server must be configured to allow PowerAlert to send requests and receive responses. This is very specific to the particular RADIUS server involved, so check your documentation carefully. For the FreeRadius server, entries would be added to the clients.conf file following the instructions provided with the sample entries.
