fence_apc_snmp – Fence agent for APC, Tripplite PDU over SNMP
Description
fence_apc_snmp is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the APC network power switch or Tripplite PDU devices.It logs into a device via SNMP and reboots a specified outlet. It supports SNMP v1, v2c, v3 with all combinations of authenticity/privacy settings.
fence_apc_snmp accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_apc_snmp can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
