fence_ipdu: Fence agent for iPDU over SNMP

NAME

fence_ipdu - Fence agent for iPDU over SNMP

DESCRIPTION

fence_ipdu is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the IBM iPDU network power switch. It logs into a device via SNMP and reboots a specified outlet. It supports SNMP v3 with all combinations of authenticity/privacy settings.

fence_ipdu accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_ipdu can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
