Testing the Agent
After installation, it is important
to check that the agent communicates with the UPS and responds to SNMP requests.
If you use the software agent
UM-Agent for another operating system, please refer to the paragraph « Testing
UM-Agent » of the system under consideration.
If you use an embedded agent,
from your SUN Solaris station, you can perform following tests :
- to
test the IP communication from your computer computer, enter:
ping < Agent IP address> .
- to
test the SNMP communication from a computer where you have installed
UM-Client, go to the directory where UM-Client is installed and enter:
./snmpm
[</c:Community name>] get < UM-Agent
IP Address > 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
and you will obtain the references of the SNMP agent . Otherwise,
check that TCP/IP and the SNMP agent have been activated
./snmpm
[</c:Community name>] get < UM-Agent IP address> 1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.1.1.0
and you will obtain the UPS family name (« Pulsar »
for example). Otherwise, check UPS/agent communication.
