NUT-SCANNER(8) NUT Manual NUT-SCANNER(8)NAMEnut-scanner - scan communication buses for NUT devices
SYNOPSISnut-scanner-h
nut-scanner [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTIONnut-scanner scans available communication buses and displays any
NUT-compatible devices it has found.
INSTALLATIONnut-scanner is only built if libltdl (part of libtool development
suite) is available. Available options (USB, SNMP, IPMI, ...) will vary
according to the available compile time and runtime dependencies. For
example, if Net-SNMP is installed, thus providing libsnmp (.so or .dll)
and headers, both during compilation and runtime, then SNMP discovery
will be available.
OPTIONS-h
Display the help text.
DISPLAY OPTIONS-N | --disp_nut_conf
Display result in the ups.conf format.
-P | --disp_parsable
Display result in a parsable format.
BUS OPTIONS-C | --complete_scan
Scan all available communication buses (default behavior)
-U | --usb_scan
List all NUT-compatible USB devices currently plugged in.
-S | --snmp_scan
Scan SNMP devices. Requires at least a start IP, and optionally, an
end IP. See specific SNMP OPTIONS for community and security
settings.
-M | --xml_scan
Scan XML/HTTP devices. Broadcast a network message on the current
network interfaces to retrieve XML/HTTP capable devices. No IP
required.
-O | --oldnut_scan
Scan NUT devices (i.e. upsd daemon) on IP ranging from start IP to
end IP.
-A | --avahi_scan
Scan NUT servers using Avahi request on the current network
interfaces. No IP required.
-I | --ipmi_scan
Scan NUT compatible power supplies available via IPMI on the
current host, or over the network.
-E | --eaton_serial serial ports
Scan Eaton devices (XCP and SHUT) available via serial bus on the
current host. This option must be requested explicitely, even for a
complete scan. serial ports can be expressed in various forms:
· auto to scan all serial ports.
· a single charcater indicating a port number (0 (zero) for
/dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux, 1 for COM1 on Windows, a
for /dev/ttya on Solaris...)
· a range of N characters, hyphen separated, describing the range
of ports using X-Y, where X and Y are characters refering to
the port number.
· a single port name.
· a list of ports name, coma separated, like
/dev/ttyS1,/dev/ttyS4.
NETWORK OPTIONS-t | --timeout timeout
Set the network timeout in seconds. Default timeout is 5 seconds.
-s | --start_ip start IP
Set the first IP (IPv4 or IPv6) when a range of IP is required
(SNMP, old_nut).
-e | --end_ip end IP
Set the last IP (IPv4 or IPv6) when a range of IP is required
(SNMP, old_nut). If this parameter is omitted, only the start IP is
scanned. If end IP is less than start IP, both parameters are
internally permuted.
-m | --mask_cidr IP address/mask
Set a range of IP using CIDR notation.
NUT DEVICE OPTION-p | --port port number
Set the port number of scanned NUT devices (default 3493).
SNMP V1 OPTION-c | --community community
Set SNMP v1 community name (default = public).
SNMP V3 OPTIONS-l | --secLevel security level
Set the security level used for SNMPv3 messages. Allowed values
are: noAuthNoPriv, authNoPriv and authPriv.
-u | --secName security name
Set the security name used for authenticated SNMPv3 messages. This
parameter is mandatory if you set security level.
-w | --authProtocol authentication protocol
Set the authentication protocol used for authenticated SNMPv3
messages. Allowed values are MD5 or SHA. Default value is MD5.
-W | --authPassword authentication pass phrase
Set the authentication pass phrase used for authenticated SNMPv3
messages. This parameter is mandatory if you set security level to
authNoPriv or authPriv.
-x | --privProtocol privacy protocol
Set the privacy protocol used for encrypted SNMPv3 messages.
Allowed values are DES or AES. Default value is DES.
-X | --privPassword privacy pass phrase
Set the privacy pass phrase used for encrypted SNMPv3 messages.
This parameter is mandatory if you set security level to authPriv.
IPMI OPTIONS-b | --username username
Set the username used for authenticating IPMI over LAN connections
(mandatory for IPMI over LAN. No default).
-B | --password password
Specify the password to use when authenticating with the remote
host (mandatory for IPMI over LAN. No default).
-d | --authType authentication type
Specify the IPMI 1.5 authentication type to use (NONE,
STRAIGHT_PASSWORD_KEY, MD2, and MD5) with the remote host
(default=MD5). This forces connection through the lan IPMI
interface , thus in IPMI 1.5 mode.
-D | --cipher_suite_id cipher suite identifier
Specify the IPMI 2.0 cipher suite ID to use. The Cipher Suite ID
identifies a set of authentication, integrity, and confidentiality
algorithms to use for IPMI 2.0 communication. The authentication
algorithm identifies the algorithm to use for session setup, the
integrity algorithm identifies the algorithm to use for session
packet signatures, and the confidentiality algorithm identifies the
algorithm to use for payload encryption (default=3).
The following cipher suite ids are currently supported
(Authentication; Integrity; Confidentiality):
· 0: None; None; None
· 1: HMAC-SHA1; None; None
· 2: HMAC-SHA1; HMAC-SHA1-96; None
· 3: HMAC-SHA1; HMAC-SHA1-96; AES-CBC-128
· 6: HMAC-MD5; None; None
· 7: HMAC-MD5; HMAC-MD5-128; None
· 8: HMAC-MD5; HMAC-MD5-128; AES-CBC-128
· 11: HMAC-MD5; MD5-128; None
· 12: HMAC-MD5; MD5-128; AES-CBC-128
· 15: HMAC-SHA256; None; None
· 16: HMAC-SHA256; HMAC_SHA256_128; None
· 17: HMAC-SHA256; HMAC_SHA256_128; AES-CBC-128
MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS-V | --version
Display NUT version.
-a | --available
Display available bus that can be scanned , depending on how the
binary has been compiled. (OLDNUT, USB, SNMP, XML, AVAHI, IPMI).
-q | --quiet
Display only scan result. No information on currently scanned bus
is displayed.
EXAMPLES
