<p class="MsoNormal">Interesting. I didn’t check the version, just downloaded the version using yum. It seems like the driver I’m using is probably older than my UPS then and it’s not supported in that driver. How do I download a newer version using yum? Or
do I have to compile it myself to get 2.7.4?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Given how driver says it has version 2.7.2, I have doubts about it being the "latest version" (latest official release 2.7.4 is about 5 years old now, cleaning up codebase for 2.7.5).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Among things recently fixed in master branch, "Invalid mibs" may have meant no response to queries for OID - whether because device did not support that OID in its MIB, or did not recognize auth, or otherwise ignored the request (UDP is
best-effort and does not help differentiate).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Can't quickly say what could be wrong in that aged version, but I was recently told some APC devices might not handle the standard (fallback) IETF MIB, so maybe that build of the driver and the UPS indeed have nothing common to talk about.<o:p></o:p></p>
