PowerConnect Switches

*** LATEST CHANGES: Split up "asset" check to only report Serial / Service Tag. New "description" check will return make & model. Also rewrote code to support SNMPv3 checking. Along with this came improved error handling and also use of passing user-friendly -- parameters. Finally, simplified output and and improved perfdata.

This plugin attempts to get you as much information as needed out of your Dell switches.

Usage for SNMP v1/2c:
check_powerconnect -H {host/IP} -t {type of check} [-C {SNMP community}] [-p] [-w] [-c] [-S]

Usage for SNMP v3:
check_powerconnect -v 3 -H {host/IP} -t {type of check} -u {user} -x {protocol} -X {password} -a {protocol} -A {password} -l {security mode} [-p] [-S] [-w] [-c]

Possible checks to run are as follows:
assets
description
uptime
ports
port
health
temps
fans
psus

So, to check the status of port 2:
check_powerconnect -H {host/IP} -C {SNMP community} -t port -p 2

Or for ports 1, 3, 6 and 10:
check_powerconnect -H {host/IP} -C {SNMP community} -t port -p 1,3,6,10

To check the status of the power supplies:
check_powerconnect -H {hostname / IP address} -C {SNMP community} -t psus

As the Dell manual for our PowerConnect specifies - 1 switch is treated as a "stack" , so interpret output appropriately.

Although loss of *redundant* power is not typically critical, I have treated it as such to ensure you receive an e-mail (without having to tweak the plugin configuration).
