My question is why use SNMP over IPMI v2.0. I can do the above three things with: /usr/bin/ipmitool -U <user> -P <password> -H <ilom IP> chassis power off /usr/bin/ipmitool -U <user> -P <password> -H <ilom IP> chassis power on /usr/bin/ipmitool -U <user> -P <password> -H <ilom IP> chassis power status I don't need any MIB's for this either. It seems to me this might be an easier solution than snmp, but I may be missing something.
