Introduction Smart POPS PDU

Installation and Operations Manual

IPv6 and Server Technology Products

Server Technology is introducing IPv6 “dual stack” support to the PDU product line. IPv6 has been designed to succeed IPv4 as the dominant communications protocol for internet traffic, to avoid depletions of the IPv4 address space, and to allow more IP address growth. Many devices already in use support IPv6.

IPv6 has several new operational methods:

Static IPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of Static IPv4.

DHCPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of a DHCP IPv4 address, also known as a “stateful” autoconfiguration of DHCPv6.

IPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 4862): An automatically-generated unique link-local IPv6 address used for client based configurations. This address is always present in the Server Technology dual stack and cannot be disabled.

DHCPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 3736): A “stateless” Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP) service for IPv6 (DHCPv6). This address is used by nodes to obtain configuration information, such as addresses of DNS recursive name servers that do not require the maintenance of any dynamic state for individual clients.

PDU Firmware – Protocol Support

IPv6 and IPv4 Protocols:

The PDU firmware supports the following network IPv6 and IPv4 protocols:

DNS Ping

FTP (or SFTP) Server SNMPv1/2/3

FTP (or SFTP) Updates SNTP

HTTP HTTPS

SMTP

Static IPv6 DHCPv6 (stateless and stateful)

Syslog SNMPv1/2/3 Traps

Telnet SSH

IPv4-Only Protocols:

The PDU firmware supports the following network IPv4-only protocols:

Cisco EnergyWise

LDAP

Load Shedding *

RADIUS *

TACACS+

* = may work with IPv6 addresses, but not tested.

Smart POPS PDU

Installation and Operations Manual Introduction

Network-Enabled Modes

NOTES :

For all network-enabled modes described below, the PDU will set an auto-configured IPv6 address, and if IPv6 router announcements are

active, a stateless DHCP IPv6 address will also be set. Further, in all network-enabled modes, at least one IPv4 or one IPv6 address will

be active.

For maximum backward compatibility, the default network mode is “IPv4 only”.

Network disabled – No IPv4 or IPv6 addresses available.

IPv4 only, DHCP disabled (static IPv4) – If the IPv4 Static Address and Net Mask of the PDU are valid, they will be set.

IPv4 only, DHCP enabled (DHCP IPv4) – The PDU will try to resolve an IPv4 DHCP address. If a DHCP address cannot be obtained after 90 seconds, the PDU can: (1) optionally fall back to its static IPv4 settings, or (2) indefinitely wait to acquire an address based on DHCP configuration settings. This setting is the default .

Dual IPv6/IPv4, DHCP disabled (static IPv6/IPv4) – If the IPv6 Static Address and prefix of the PDU are valid, they will be set. Otherwise, the PDU will attempt to use DHCPv6 to obtain an IPv6 address.

In addition, if the IPv4 Static Address and Net Mask of the PDU are valid, they will be set.

Dual IPv6/IPv4, DHCP enabled (DHCP IPv6/IPv4) – The PDU will try to resolve both its IPv6 and IPv4 addresses by DHCP. If both DHCP requests are answered, the primary DNS server of the PDU will become the primary IPv6 DNS server, and the secondary DNS server of the PDU will become the primary IPv4

DNS server.

If only one of the DHCP requests is answered, the DNS servers of the PDU will map to the primary and secondary DNS server from that request.

If a DHCP address cannot be obtained after 90 seconds, the PDU can: (1) optionally fall back to its static

IPv4 and/or IPv6 settings, or (2) indefinitely wait to acquire an address based on DHCP configuration settings.

Interfaces

The Smart Cabinet Distribution Unit has two interfaces: the Web interface accessed via the HTTP enabled Ethernet connections, and the command line for serial and Telnet connections.

Usernames and Passwords

The Smart POPS Cabinet Distribution Unit has one predefined administrative user account (username/password: admn/admn), and supports a maximum of 112 defined user accounts.

NOTE: For security, Server Technology recommends removal of the predefined administrative user account after a new account with administrative rights has been created.

Only an administrative-level user may perform operations such as creating/removing user accounts and command privileges, changing passwords and displaying user information. An administrator may also view the status of all sensors and power inputs.

Usernames may contain from 1-16 characters and are not case sensitive; spaces are not allowed. Passwords may contain up to 16 characters, and are case sensitive.

Web Interface

The Web Interface provides web-based access to the firmware. The interface is designed with three major sections, illustrated below.

1.

System Header: Shows PDU description and location, IP address, and user/ access information.

2.

Navigation Bar: Provides access to PDU configuration, control action, or status page.

3.

Details Window: Current control/status information based on the page selected from the navigation bar.

NOTE: The blinking of the PDU location string (IP address) in the System Header section may not work with all web browsers.

This example shows the Power Monitoring > Input Feeds page:

Installation and Operations Manual

Logging In

Logging in through the Web requires directing the Web client to the configured IP address of the unit.

To log in the Web interface:

In the login window, enter a valid username and password and press OK .

If you enter an invalid username or password, you will be prompted again.

You are given three attempts to enter a valid username and password combination. If all three fail, the session ends and a protected page will be displayed.

NOTE: The default username/password is admn/admn .

System Summary

The System Summary is typically displayed as the default page at user login to the firmware Web Interface. If you do not have environmental monitor access for a PDU, your default page at login will be the Outlet Control page (shown in the previous screen capture).

Both the System Summary page and the Outlet Control page display automatically at login and do not require enabling.

The System Summary page contains general system, line, humidity, and temperature status information. The colorcoded sensor graphs shown in the example below provide a quick and efficient real-time view for monitoring environmental conditions in your PDU network.

Example of System Summary Page

The System Summary page displays precise current and system power consumption in your PDU network. Dynamic updates (without a full page refresh) allow you to assess critical system statistics with close to instantaneous feedback. This performance is useful for monitoring new installation or power distribution changes in high-density computing environments. Power system administrators can also quickly identify thermal and humidity concerns that might otherwise escalate into costly infrastructure repairs if left unchecked.

As long as the System Summary page is active, the sensor graphs are continually updating system statistics and threshold values. The data with the most impact on the system is displayed to reduce your analysis and troubleshooting time. You can quickly analyze and correct a PDU if a sudden operating condition affects your device network.

NOTE: Because the System Summary page continually requests updated status information from the PDU, the page does not time-out. You will need to navigate to another page or manually log off.

System Information

Uptime: Displays the cumulative time the PDU has been up and running since the last unit restarted. Uptime shows continuous, real-time system updates with an approximate 5-second automatic refresh. A manual refresh of the

System Summary page is not required.

Firmware Version: Shows the current firmware version.

Ethernet NIC S/N: Displays the PDU serial number derived from the Ethernet NIC.

Active Users: Displays the number of active user sessions accessing the firmware. These sessions include serial,

TELNET, SSH, and Web sessions. Active Users also shows sessions that an unauthorized user may be attempting to access. The number shown in Active Users changes instantly as the number of active user sessions change. A total of

4 concurrent web user sessions are allowed (HTTP or HTTPS).

NOTE: Depending on your web browser, multiple web accesses from the same machine are often treated as one user.

Total Power Consumption: Displays the total system power (in Watts) being distributed by the current Smart POPS

PDU configuration.

Line Status

The Line Status graph displays a blinking warning (yellow), whenever the total input load on an infeed exceeds the present user set threshold. If an overload occurs, a blinking error condition (red) is displayed. The unit continues to display these yellow and red states until the condition changes or the problem has been resolved.

The default input feed high load threshold is 80% of the input feed maximum load capacity.

NOTE: The input feed high threshold is user-defined. You must configure this threshold value on the SNMP/Thresholds page or the

Command Line Interface (CLI).

Temperature Status

The Temperature Status graph displays a blinking error whenever temperature exceeds the low or high threshold. The

PDU will continue to display this state until the condition changes or the problem has been resolved.

For the temperature sensor, the default range of low/high temperature values is 5º-45º C (41º-115º F).

Up to four sets of dual temperature/humidity sensors can be displayed in this graph for a total of eight possible temperature sensor graphs. A thin blue line separates each set based on the tower or environmental monitor.

NOTE: The temperature threshold values are user-defined. You must configure these threshold values on the SNMP/Thresholds page or the

Command Line Interface (CLI).

Humidity Status

The Humidity Status graph displays a blinking error whenever humidity exceeds the low or high threshold. The PDU will continue to display this state until the condition changes or the problem has been resolved.

For the humidity sensor, the default range of low/high humidity percentage is 0-100% (relative humidity).

Up to four sets of dual temperature/humidity sensors can be displayed in this graph for a total of eight possible humidity sensor graphs. A thin blue line separates each set based on the tower or environmental monitor.

NOTE: The humidity threshold values are user-defined. You must configure these threshold values on the SNMP/Thresholds page or the

Command Line Interface (CLI).

Enabling Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP):

To enable DHCP, check the Enable checkbox. To disable DCHP, uncheck (clear) the checkbox. Click Apply .

Setting the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN):

To enable FQDN, check the Enable checkbox and accept the default name “sentry3-521384” (or type a different name). To disable the FQDN, uncheck the checkbox.

Click Apply .

Enabling the DHCP boot delay:

To enable the boot delay, check the Enable checkbox. To disable the boot delay, uncheck (clear) the checkbox.

Click Apply .

Enabling the Boot Delay option gives the PDU approximately 100-seconds to establish a connection through a

DHCP server. This interval allows various network component activities to occur as the PDU powers up (such as obtaining SNTP time stamps for logging). This is the default state.

Disabling the Boot Delay option forces the PDU to boot after approximately 5-seconds regardless of the

DHCP acquisition state. This speeds up a boot when a DHCP server is connected to one of the outlets in the

PDU. In this configuration, SNMP traps, SNTP, and other protocols will not be available until a DHCP address has been resolved.

NOTES:

The Boot Delay option executes only when DHCP is enabled.

The firmware can detect network link integrity and will wait for network connection. This means that if the network is not currently

connected, the enabled Boot Delay option will be ignored.

Enabling static address fallback:

NOTE: The Static Address Fallback option executes only when DHCP is enabled.

To enable static address fallback, check the Enable checkbox. To disable, uncheck (clear) the checkbox.

Click Apply .

Enabling the Static Address Fallback option informs the PDU to automatically fall back to a static address if a DHCP server does not respond after 100-seconds. This is the default state.

Disabling the Static Address Fallback option generates DHCP server requests until the PDU obtains a dynamic address.

NOTE: If the DHCP server boot time is excessive, you may need to disable the DHCP Static Address Fallback option.

To enable or disable DHCP support:

At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set dhcp , followed by enabled or disabled , and press Enter .

Enabling or disabling DCHP boot delay:

The Set DHCP Boot Delay command enables or disables the DHCP boot delay option.

Enabling the Boot Delay option gives the PDU approximately 100-seconds to establish a connection through a DHCP server.

This interval allows various network component activities to occur as the PDU powers up

(such as obtaining SNTP time stamps for logging). This is the default state.

Disabling the Boot Delay option forces the PDU to boot after approximately 5-seconds regardless of the

DHCP acquisition state. This speeds up a boot when a DHCP server is connected to one of the outlets on the

PDU. In this configuration, SNMP traps, SNTP and other protocols will not be available until a DHCP address has been resolved.

To enable the boot delay:

At the Smart CDU: prompt, type set dhcp , followed by bootdelay , followed by enabled or disabled , and press

Enter .

NOTES:

The Boot Delay option executes only when DHCP is enabled.

The firmware can detect network link integrity and will wait for network connection. This means that if the network is not currently

connected, the enabled Boot Delay option will be ignored.

About Daylight Saving Time(DST)

Support for DST is disabled by default. When enabled, the date and time are automatically adjusted forward one hour between the starting and ending dates and times (which can be configured).

NOTE: If Daylight Saving Time (DST) is enabled, all system time displays will be shown with the current DST start/end date/time settings.

The default time zone is set for the United Stated until at least 2015.

The time zone format is: mo.w.d/h:m:s , as follows: mo = month from January to December (1-12) w = week number (1-4) or the last week (5) d = day of week from Sunday to Saturday (0-6) h = hour (0-23) m = minute (0-59) s = second (0-59)

SSL

Secure Socket Layers (SSL) enables secure web sessions between a Remote Power Manager and a remote user. SSL provides two chief features designed to make TCP/IP (Internet) transmitted data more secure:

Authentication: The connecting client is assured of the identity of the server.

Encryption: All data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted rendering any intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.

SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requires the use of digital certificates. An

SSL Certificate is an electronic file uniquely identifying individuals or websites and enables encrypted communication; SSL Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential. The SSL Certificate of the unit enables the client to verify the authenticity of the unit and to communicate with the unit securely by an encrypted session, protecting confidential information from interception and hacking.

SSH

Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 enables secure network terminal sessions between a Remote Power Manager and a remote user over insecure network. SSH provides encrypted terminal sessions with strong authentication of both the server and client, using public-key cryptography and is typically used as a replacement for unencrypted Telnet. In addition to enabling secure network terminal sessions to the PDU for configuration and power management, the SSH session may be used for secure Pass-Thru connections to attached devices.

SSH requires the configuration and use of a client agent on the client PC. There are many freeware, shareware or forpurchase SSH clients available. Two examples are the freeware client PuTTY and the for-purchase client

SecureCRT

by VanDyke

Software. For configuration and use of these clients, please refer to the applicable software documentation.

SNMP/Thresholds

The Smart POPS family of products supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows network management systems to use SNMP requests to retrieve information and control power for the individual outlets.

NOTE: The default for SNMP support is Enabled . When Server Technology products are shipped, the default SNMP configuration for the GET community string is set to “ public

” and the SET community string is left blank.

About SNMP Versions

The firmware supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3.

SNMP version 3 supports authentication and encryption on a per user basis. Authentication types are None and MD5.

Encryption types are None and DES. If you use authentication, you must use encryption.

Two SNMPv3 users are supported: one user with read-write (RW) access, and one user with read-only (RO) access

Both users have the same configuration parameters, and you can configure each user independently.

SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 can be enabled or disabled independently. You can have SNMPv2 and/or SNMPv3, or none.

SNMP CLI Commands:

All SNMP v3 specific configuration settings use the CLI command SET SNMP V3.

All SNMP v1/v2 specific configuration settings use the CLI command SET SNMP V2.

All SNMP configuration settings common to any SNMP version use the CLI command SET SNMP.

NOTES:

If you use SNMP v1 or SNMP v2, all SET SNMP CLI commands (and the SHOW command) require the “V2” keyword.

SNMP v1/v2 CLI commands are documented immediately below in this section showing the required “V2” keyword. All CLI commands

that follow the SNMP v1/v2 section in this manual assume SNMP v3.

Status trap

A Status trap is generated when an error condition occurs on a tower, infeed, Environmental Monitor or individual sensor. Status traps include the reported Status, the location of the PDU and identifier and name of the affected tower, infeed, outlet, environmental monitor, or sensor.

Any error state generates a Status trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Status returns to a non-error status. All status traps are enabled by default.

= The ENV part of the sensor supports two Temperature/Humidity (T/H) probes as part of the master unit, two T/H probes as part of the link unit, and the optional EMCU-1-1 (which can support two T/H probes, four contact-closure monitoring points, and one water sensor). The “No Comm” sensor status is not loss of communication with probes themselves.

NOTE: Traps are generated according to a hierarchical architecture. For example, if a Tower Status enters a trap condition, only the Tower

Status trap will be generated. Infeed, Outlet, Environmental Monitor or Sensor Status and Temp and Humid traps will be suppressed until the Tower Status returns to Normal.

Load Trap

The Load trap is generated whenever the total input load on an infeed exceeds a preset threshold. Load traps include the reported input load, load status, location of the PDU, and identifier and name of the affected infeed.

Any error state generates a Load trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Load returns to a non-error status.

LDAP

The Smart POPS family of products supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Version 3. This support enables authentication with LDAP servers; user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each PDU.

This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each PDU product, and in the LDAP server) a set of necessary LDAP Groups, and access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be assigned or revoked simply by making the user a member of one-or-more pre-defined PDU LDAP Groups. User accounts can be added, deleted, or changed in the LDAP server without any changes needed on individual PDU products.

Smart POPS LDAP support has been tested in the following environments:

Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD)

Novell eDirectory (eDir)

Installation and Operations Manual

TACACS+

The Smart POPS family of products supports the Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) protocol. This enables authentication and authorization with a central TACACS+ server; user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each PDU.

This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each PDU product, and in the TACACS+ server) a set of necessary TACACS+ privilege levels, and users’ access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be assigned or revoked simply by making the user a member of one-or-more pre-defined TACACS+ privilege levels. User account rights can be added, deleted, or changed within TACACS+ without any changes needed on individual PDU products.

The Smart POPS PDU supports 16 different TACACS+ privilege levels; 15 are entirely configurable by the system administrator (1 is reserved for default Admin level access to all PDU resources).

RADIUS

The Smart POPS family of products supports the Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) protocol.

RADIUS provides a centralized network protocol to enable remote authentication and authorization, such as user names and passwords. With a central RADIUS server, user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each PDU. This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each PDU product and in the RADIUS server), a set of necessary RADIUS privilege levels and user access rights for each level.

RADIUS is also used in enterprise-wide networks because it provides the administrator with high performance, less memory usage, less CPU cycles on routers and switches, and an open standard that is easily interoperable within the network.

In addition to the protocol-required attributes, the RADIUS authentication process can be extended by using private vendor-specific attributes (VSA). This extension allows Server Technology to create its own proprietary attributes to support features and services using the PDU in the RADIUS authentication process.

Compact Fuse Holder

The Compact Fuse Holder is a UL 98 listed Fused Disconnect Switch that allows the user to turn OFF the branch circuit and safely service the fuse without having to disconnect the PDU AC power source prior to performing this operation.

To help identify which fuse is open, blown, or missing, the Open Fuse

Indicator Light glows orange when the PDU is powered and the Switch

Handle is in the ON position.

Additionally, intelligent PDUs with branch circuit sensing will display a flashing FE on the input current LEDs to indicate Fuse Error .

To service the fuse or turn OFF the branch, rotate the Switch

Handle toward the Fuse Access Door.

Next, rotate the Fuse Access Door counter clock-wise until it opens.

Only replace the fuse with the same size, type, and ratings as the original fuse.

Reverse these steps after the new fuse(s) is installed.

CAUTION:

Failure to replace the fuse with the same size, type, and ratings will damage the PDU and the connected and nearby

equipment, and will cause electrical shock, fire, explosion, or injury/death.

Do not attempt to open the Fuse Access Door without first setting the Switch Handle in the OFF position. Forcibly

rotating the Fuse Access Door will damage the fused holder.
