TO DO
. do we require the ability to have multiple
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalMode for the same pmIndex?
1. Introduction
Network management is typically divided into areas of concerns
according to the ISO Telecommunications Management Network
model. The model defines Fault, Configuration, Accounting,
Performance, and Security Management. Notably missing is an
area of concern specifically covering energy management at an
equal level to these areas.
With energy becoming a more critical area of concern, this
document defines a subset of the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with devices in and connected to communication
networks for energy management. The MIB modules in this
document are designed to provide a model for energy management,
which includes monitoring for power state and energy consumption
of networked elements. This MIB takes into account the
requirements specified in [POWER-MON-REQ].
Energy management is applicable to devices that comprise and
that are connected to a communication network. Target devices
for this specification include (but are not limited to):
routers, switches, Power over Ethernet (PoE) endpoints, protocol
gateways for building management systems, intelligent meters,
home energy gateway, hosts and servers, sensor proxy, etc.
Where applicable, monitoring of a device is extended to the
individual components of the device and/or to any attached
dependent device(s). An example of such a case could be when a
device contains components that are independent from a power
state point of view (such as line cards, processor cards, hard
drives) or when a devices has dependent attached devices (such
as a switch with PoE endpoints or a power distribution unit with
attached endpoints).
Devices and their sub-components may be characterized by the
power related attributes of a physical entity present in the
ENTITY MIB, even though the ENTITY MIB compliance is not a
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
requirement due to the variety and broad base of devices
concerned with energy management.
2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the
current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to
section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store,
termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are
generally accessed through the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the
mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information
(SMI). This memo specifies MIB modules that are compliant to
the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD
58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
3. Use Cases
The requirements for power and energy monitoring for networking
devices are specified in [POWER-MON-REQ]. The requirements in
[POWER-MON-REQ] cover devices that typically make up a
communications network such as such as switches, routers, and
various connected endpoints. For power monitoring to be useful,
a specification should also be applicable to facility meters,
power distribution units, gateway proxies for commercial
building control, home automation devices and devices that
interface with the utility and/or smart grid. Due to this fact,
the scope of the MIB modules in this document is broader than
that specified in [POWER-MON-REQ]. Several scenarios that cover
these broader use cases are presented later in Section 6 -
Implementation Scenarios.
4. Terminology
The definitions of the basic terms like Power Monitor, Power
Monitor Parent, Power Monitor Child, Power Monitor Domain, Power
Level, and Manufacturer Power Level can be found in the Power
Management Architecture [POWER-MON-ARCH].
5. Architecture Concepts Applied to the MIB Module
This section will go over the basic concepts specified in the
Power Monitor Architecture [POWER-MON-ARCH], with specific
information related to the MIB module specified in this document
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
This subsection structure maps to the section "Architecture High
Level Concepts" sub-structure in the Power Monitoring
Architecture [POWER-MON-ARCH].
5.1 Power Monitor Information
Refer to the "Power Monitor Information" section in [POWER-MON-
ARCH] for background information.
The Power Monitor information is specified in the MIB module
primary table, i.e. the pmTable. Every Power Monitor SHOULD
have a printable name pmName, and MUST HAVE a unique Power
Monitor index pmIndex.
pmIndex is an unique index greater than zero for each Power
Monitor. It is recommended that values be assigned sequentially
starting from 1. The value for each pmIndex must remain
constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity's
network management system to the next re-initialization. In
addition, that Power Monitor can potentially have an
entityPhysicalIndex from the ENTITY MIB [RFC4133] in the
pmPhysicalEntity, if supported by the Power Monitor. In case of
Power over Ethernet (if the Power over Ethernet MIB is supported
on the Power Monitor), the Power Monitor pmethPortIndex and
pmethPortGrpIndex must contain the values of pethPsePortIndex
and pethPsePortGroupIndex, respectively. In case of LLDP-MED
(if the LLDP-MED MIB is supported on the Power Monitor), the
Power Monitor pmLldpPortNumber must contain the lldpLocPortNum
from the LLDP MIB.
Possible pmName conventions are: textual DNS name, MAC-address
of the device, interface ifName, or a text string uniquely
identifying the Power Monitor. However, if entPhysicalName is
present for the respective pmPhysicalEntity (i.e. if the ENTITY-
MIB is supported), then the pmName SHOULD be identical to the
entPhysicalName. The pmName SHOULD be unique. As an example,
in the case of IP phones, pmName can be the device DNS name,
while in the case of router/switch line cards, the pmName should
contain the entPhysicalName.
To distinguish if a Power Monitor is producing, consuming or
metering power, the pmPowerCategory MIB object must be
implemented.
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
5.2 Power Monitor Meter Domain
Refer to the "Power Monitor Meter Domain" section in [POWER-MON-
ARCH] for background information.
Each Power Monitor MUST be a member of a Power Monitor Meter
Domain, specified by the pmDomainName MIB Object. The
pmDomainName, which is part of the pmTable, is a read-write MIB
object.
5.3 Power Monitor Parent and Child
Refer to the "Power Monitor Parent and Child" section in [POWER-
MON-ARCH] for background information. In order to link the
Power Monitor Child and the Power Monitor Parent, the pmParentId
is introduced.
5.4 Power Monitor Context
Refer to the "Power Monitor Context" section in [POWER-MON-ARCH]
for background information.
A Power Monitor can provide a pmImportance value in the range of
1..100 to help differentiate the use or relative value to the
site. The importance range is from 1 (least important) to 100
(most important). The default importance value is 1.
A Power Monitor can provide a set of pmKeywords. These keywords
are a list of tags that can be used for grouping and summary
reporting within or between Power Monitor Meter Domains.
Additionally, a Power Monitor can provide a pmRoleDescription
string that indicates the purpose the Power Monitor serves in
the network or to site/business.
5.5 Power Monitor Levels
Refer to the "Power Monitor Levels" section in [POWER-MON-ARCH]
for background information.
Power Levels, which represent universal states of power
management of a Power Monitor, are specified by the pmPowerLevel
MIB object.
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
Via the pmManufacturerActualPowerLevel MIB variable, the
manufacturer power levels might be specified, in case the Power
Levels specified in this document are not (yet) supported. The
manufacturer power level name can be read with the
pmManufacturerActualPowerLevel Name MIB variable.
The actual Power Level is specified by the pmPowerActualLevel
MIB objects.
The MIB objects pmPowerLevel and pmManufacturerDefinedPowerLevel
are contained in the pmTable MIB table.
The pmPowerLevelTable table enumerates the maximum power usage
in watts, for every single supported Power Level of each Power
Monitor.
The pmPowerLevelMappingTable table enumerates the maximum power
usage in watts, for every single manufacturer power level.
Furthermore, this table maps the manufacturer power levels with
the Power Levels specified in this document, more specifically
with the PowerMonitorLevel textual convention. Finally, this
table returns the name of each manufacturer power level.
5.6 Power Monitor Usage Measurement
Refer to the "Power Monitor Usage Measurement" section in
[POWER-MON-ARCH] for background information.
For a Power Monitor, power usage is reported using pmPower. The
magnitude of measurement is based on the pmPowerUnitMultiplier
MIB variable, based on the UnitMultiplier Textual Convention
(TC).
For example, if current power usage of a Power Monitor is 3, it
could be 3 W, 3 mW, 3 KW, 3 MW depending on the value of
pmPowerUnitMultiplier. Note that other measurements throughout
the two MIB modules in this document use the same mechanism,
including pmPowerLevelPowerUnitMultiplier,
pmDemandIntervalEnergyUnitMultiplier, and
pmACPwrQualityPowerUnitMultiplier.
In addition to knowing the usage and magnitude it is useful to
know how a pmPower measurement was obtained. An NMS can use
this to account for the accuracy and nature of the reading
between different implementations. For this pmPowerOrigin
describes whether the measurements were made at the device
itself or from a remote source. The pmPowerMeasurementCaliber
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
describes the method that was used to measure the power and can
distinguish actual or estimated values.
The nameplate power rating of a Power Monitor is specified in
pmPowerNameplate MIB object.
5.7 Optional Power Usage Quality
Refer to the "Optional Power Usage Quality" section in [POWER-
MON-ARCH] for background information.
The optional powerQualityMIB MIB module can be implemented to
further describe the power usage Quality measurement. The
powerQualityMIB MIB module adheres closely to the IEC 61850 7-2
standard to describe AC measurements.
The powerQualityMIB MIB module contains a primary table, the
pmACPwrQualityTable table, that defines power quality
measurements for supported pmIndex entities, as a sparse
extension of the pmTable (so with pmIndex as primary index).
This pmACPwrQualityTable table contains information such as the
configuration (single phase, DEL 3 phases, WYE 3 phases), the
voltage, frequency, power accuracy, total active/reactive
power/apparent power, the amphere, and the voltage.
In case of 3-phase power, the pmACPwrQualityPhaseTable
additional table is populated with power quality measurements
per phase (so double indexed by the pmIndex and pmPhaseIndex).
This table, which describes attributes common to both WYE and
DEL configurations, contains the average current,
active/reactive/apparent power, power factor and the impedance.
In case of 3-phase power with a DEL configuration, the
pmACPwrQualityDelPhaseTable table describes the phase-to-phase
power quality measurements, i.e., voltage and current.
In case of 3-phase power with a Wye configuration, the
pmACPwrQualityWyePhaseTable table describes the phase to neutral
power quality measurements, i.e., voltage and current.
5.8 Optional Energy Measurement
Refer to the "Optional Energy Measurement" section in [POWER-
MON-ARCH] for background information.
It is relevant to measure the demand only when there are actual
power measurements from a Power Monitor, and not when the power
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
measurement is assumed or predicted as specified in the
description clause of the object pmPowerMeasurementCaliber.
Two tables are introduced to characterize the energy demand -
pmDemandEnergyTable and pmDemandEnergyParametersTable. The
pmDemandEnergyParametersTable table consists of parameters
defining: the duration of the demand intervals in seconds,
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalLength; the number of demand
intervals kept in the pmDemandEnergyTable,
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalNumber; the type of demand
intervals, pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalMode, and a same rate
used to calculate the average,
pmDemandEnergyParametersSampleRate. Judicious choice of the
SamplingRate will ensure accurate measurement of power while not
imposing an excessive polling burden.
There are three types of pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalMode
for energy measurement collection: period, sliding, and total.
These three concepts are illustrated by the following three
figures for which:
- the horizontal axis represents the current time, with the
symbol <--- L ---> expressing the
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalLength, and the
pmDemandEnergyIntervalStartTime is represented by S1, S2, S3,
S4, ..., Sx where x is the value of
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalNumber
- the vertical axis represents the time interval of sampling and
the value of pmDemandEnergyIntervalEnergyUsed can be obtained at
the end of the sampling period. The symbol =========== denotes
the duration of the sampling period.

Figure 3 : total pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalMode
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
A pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalMode mode of 'total' specifies
a continuous measurement since the last reset. The value of
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalNumber should be (1) one and
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalLength is ignored.
The pmDemandEnergyParametersStatus is useful to specify the
energy measurement is actual and thus to indicate if the
pmDemandEnergyTable entries exist or not.
The pmDemand Table consists of energy measurements in
pmDemandIntervalEnergyUsed, the scale of energy measured,
pmDemandIntervalEnergyUnitMultiplier, and the maximum observed
demand in a window - pmDemandIntervalMax.
The pmDemandEnergyTable and pmDemandEnergyParametersTable will
be illustrated with the following example. First, in order to
estimate demand, an interval to sample energy should be
specified, i.e. pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalLength can be
"900 seconds" and the number of consecutive intervals over which
the maximum demand is calculated
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalNumber as "10". The sampling
rate internal to the Power Monitor for measurement of power
usage, pmDemandEnergyParametersSampleRate, can be "1000
milliseconds", as set by the Power Monitor as a reasonable
value. Then, the pmDemandEnergyParametersStatus is set to
active (value 1) to indicate that the Power Monitor should start
monitor the usage as per the pmDemandEnergyTable.
The indices in the pmDemandEnergyTable are pmIndex, which
identifies the Power Monitor, and pmDemandIntervalStartTime,
which denotes the start time of the demand measurement interval
based on sysUpTime. The value of pmDemandIntervalEnergyUsed is
the measured energy consumption over the time interval specified
(pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalLength) based on the Power
Monitor internal sampling rate
(pmDemandEnergyParametersSampleRate). While choosing the values
for the pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalLength and
pmDemandEnergyParametersSampleRate, it is recommended to take
into consideration either the network element resources adequate
to process and store the sample values and/or the mechanism used
to calculate the pmDemandEnergyIntervalEnergyUsed. The units
are derived from pmDemandIntervalPowerUnitMultiplier. For
example, pmDemandIntervalPowerUsed can be "100" with
pmDemandIntervalPowerUnits equal to 0, the demand is 100 watt-
hours. pmDemandIntervalMax is the maximum demand observed can
be "150 watt-hours".
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
The pmDemandEnergyTable has a buffer to retain a certain number
of intervals, as defined by
pmDemandEnergyParametersIntervalNumber. If the default value of
"10" is kept, then the pmDemandEnergyTable contains 10 demand
measurements, including the maximum. A brief explanation on how
the maximum demand can be calculated is presented. The first
observed demand measurement value is taken to be the initial
maximum. With each subsequent measurement, based on numerical
comparison, maximum demand may be updated. The maximum value is
retained as long as the measurements are taking place. Based on
periodic polling of this table, a NMS could compute the maximum
over a longer period, i.e. a month, 3 months, or a year.
5.9 Optional Battery Information
EDITOR NOTE: since a merge between this draft and [QUITTEK-
POWER-MIB] seems to be the direction that the OPSAWG IETF WG
wants to go, one idea is to copy the battery MIB module from
[QUITTEK-POWER-MIB].
6. Implementation Scenarios
The scope of power and energy monitoring consists of devices
that consume power within and connected to a communications
network. These devices include:
- Network devices and sub-components: devices such as routers
and switches and their sub-components.
- Network attached endpoints: devices that use the
communications network such as endpoints, PCs, or facility
gateways that proxy energy monitor and control for commercial
buildings or home automation,
- Network attached meters or supplies: devices that can monitor
the electrical supply such as smart meters or Universal Power
Supplies (UPS) that meter and provide availability.
This section provides illustrative examples that model different
scenarios for implementation of the Power Monitor including
Power Monitor Parent and Power Monitor Child relationships.
Scenario 1: Switch with PoE endpoints
Consider a PoE IP phone connected to a switch, as displayed on
figure 4. The IP phone draws power from the PoE switch. The
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
switch has the following attributes, also illustrated in Figure
4: pmIndex "1", pmPhysicalEntity "2", and pmPowerMonitorId "UUID
1000". The power usage of the switch is "440 Watts". The
switch does not have a Power Monitor Parent.
The PoE switch port has the following attributes - The switch
port has pmIndex "3", pmPhysicalEntity is "12" and
pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1003". The power usage of the POE
switch port is "12 watts". The POE switch port has the switch
as the Power Monitor Parent, with its pmParentID of "1000".
The IP phone has the following attributes: the IP phone has
pmIndex "31" and pmPowerMonitorId "UUID 2003", but doesn't have
an entry for pmPhysicalEntity, as the ENTITY MIB is not
supported on this device. The IP phone has a Power Monitor
Parent; the POE switch port whose pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID
1003". The power usage of the IP phone is measured at the POE
switch port and the pmUsage on the PoE IP phone reports 0.

Figure 4: Scenario 1
Scenario 2: Switch with PoE endpoints with further connected
device(s)
Consider the same scenario as example 1 with an IP phone
connected to PoE port of a switch. Now, in addition, a PC is
also daisy-chained from the IP phone for LAN connectivity. The
phone draws power from PoE port of the switch, while the PC
draws power from the wall outlet.
The attributes of the switch, switch port and IP phone are the
same as in Scenario 1. The attributes of the PC are given
below. The PC does not have pmPhysicalEntity. The pmIndex of
the PC "57", the pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 3003". The PC has a
Power Monitor Parent, i.e. the switch port whose
pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1003". The power usage of the PC is
"120 Watts" and is communicated to the switch port.
This example is used to illustrate the distinction between the
Power Monitor Children: the IP phone draws power from the
switch, while the PC has LAN connectivity from the phone, but is
powered from the wall outlet. However, the Power Monitor Parent
sends power control messages to both the Power Monitor children
(IP phone and PC) and the children react upon those messages.

Figure 5: Scenario 2
Scenario 3: A switch with Wireless Access Points
Consider a Wireless Access Point connected to the PoE port of a
switch. There are several PCs connected to the Wireless Access
Point over Wireless protocols. All PCs draw power from the wall
outlets.
The switch port is the Power Monitor Parent for the Wireless
Access Point (WAP) and the PCs. There is a distinction, between
the Power Monitor Children, as the WAP draws power from the PoE
port of the switch and the PCs draw power from the wall outlet.
The switch has pmIndex "1", pmPhysicalEntity is "2" and
pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1000". The power usage of the switch
is "440 Watts". The switch does not have a Power Monitor
Parent.
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
The PoE switch port has the following attributes - The switch
port has pmIndex "3", pmPhysicalEntity is "12" and
pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1003". The power usage of the POE
switch port is "20 watts". The POE switch port has the switch
as the parent and the pmParentID is "UUID 1000".
The WAP has the following attributes. The WAP doesn't have an
entry for pmPhysicalEntity. The WAP has pmIndex "47" and
pmPowerMonitorId "UUID 2004" and WAP has a parent; the POE
switch port whose pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1003". The power
usage of the WAP is measured at the PoE switch port.

Figure 6: Scenario 3
Scenario 4: Network connected facilities gateway
At the top of the network hierarchy of a building network is a
gateway device that can perform protocol conversion between many
facility management devices, such as BACNET, MODBUS, DALI, LON,
etc. There are power meters associated with power consuming
entities (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning - HVAC,
lighting, electrical, fire control, elevators, etc). The
proposed MIB can be implemented on the gateway device. The
gateway can be considered as the Power Monitor Parent, while the
power meters associated with the energy consuming entities such
can be considered as Power Monitor Children. EntPhysicalIndex
is not defined for these Power Monitor Parent or the Children,
as the ENTITY MIB is generally not implemented in such an

environment. Hence the gateway, meter 1, and meter 2 have
pmPhysicalEntities of value zero. The pmIndex of the gateway is
"5", and the pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1004". The gateway does
not have a Power Monitor Parent; The total power usage of the
gateway and its children is "9000 Watts".
Meter 1 has pmIndex "100", and pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 2005".
Meter 1 shall report a power usage of "6000 watts". Meter 1 has

Meter 2 has pmIndex "101", and pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 3005".
Meter 2 shall report a power usage of "1500 watts". Meter 2 has
the gateway as the Power Monitor Parent and its pmParentID is
"UUID 1004".

Figure 7: Scenario 4
Scenario 5: Data Center Network
A typical data center network consists of a hierarchy of
switches. At the bottom of hierarchy there are servers mounted
on a rack, and those are connected to the top of the rack
switches. The top switches are connected to aggregation
switches that are in turn connected to core switches. As an
example, Server 1 and Server 2 are connected to different switch
ports of the top switch.
The proposed MIB can be implemented on the switches. The switch
can be considered as the Power Monitor Parent. The servers can
be considered as the Power Monitor Children.
The switch has pmIndex "1", pmPhysicalEntity is "2", and the
pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1000". The power usage of the switch
is "440 Watts". The switch does not have a parent.
Firstly, the switch ports are non-PoE and have the following
attributes - Server 1 is connected to Switch port 1. Switch
port 1 has pmIndex "3", pmPhysicalEntity is "12" and
pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1003". Switch port 2 has pmIndex "4",
pmPhysicalEntity is "13" and pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID 1004".
The power usage of the non-POE switch port cannot be measured.
The switch ports have the switch as the Power Monitor Parent and
its pmParentID is "1000".
The Server 1 has a value of zero for pmPhysicalEntity. The
pmIndex of the Server 1 is "5", and the pmPowerMonitorId is
"UUID 2006". Server 1 has a Power Monitor Parent; i.e., the
switch port whose pmPowerMonitorId is "1003". The power usage
of the Server 1 is "200 Watts" and is communicated to the switch
port.
The Server 2 has a value of zero for pmPhysicalEntity. The
pmIndex of the Server 2 is "6", and the pmPowerMonitorId is
"UUID 3006". Server 1 has a parent; i.e., the switch port whose
pmPowerMonitorId is "1054". The power usage of the Server 2 is
"140 Watts" and is communicated to the switch port.
Communication of power usage of Server1 and Server2 to the
switch is out of scope of this document.

uninterruptible power supplies (UPS); video surveillance;
physical access; and others.
A simplified illustration of the building gateway network is
presented in figure 9. At the top of the network hierarchy of a
building network is a gateway device that performs protocol
conversion between many facility management devices. The north
interface of the building gateway is connected to the NMS.
The south side of the building gateway communicates to the
controllers, via RS-232/RS-485 interfaces and ethernet
interfaces and building management protocols such as BACNET or
MODBUS. Each controller is associated with a specific energy
consuming function such as HVAC, electrical or lighting.
The controllers are in turn connected to the actual building
energy management devices-meters, sub-meters, valves, actuators
etc. Controller 1 is associated with a meter for the HVAC
system and controller 2 can be associated with a meter for the
Lighting.
With the MIB design, the building gateway can be considered as
the Power Monitor Parent, while the controllers associated with
the meters can be considered as Power Monitor Children. This
assumes that MIB is implemented in the gateway device. Thus the
power measurement collected is at the granularity of a
controller, which aggregates all the energy measurement
collected from all the meters and sub-meters. However, if
energy measurement needs to be collected at a meter level, then
the MIB should be implemented at the controller level.
Typically in building management, the EntPhysicalIndex is not
defined for these Power Monitor Parent or the Children, as the
ENTITY MIB is generally not implemented for these devices.
Hence the gateway, controller 1, and controller 2 have
pmPhysicalEntities of value zero.
The pmIndex of the gateway is "7", and the pmPowerMonitorId is
"UUID 1007". The gateway does not have a Power Monitor Parent;
The total power usage of the gateway and its children is "2000
Watts".
Controller 1 has pmIndex "707", and pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID
5007". Controller 1 shall report a power usage of "2000 watts".
Controller 1 has the gateway as the parent and its pmParentID is
"UUID 1007".
Controller 2 has pmIndex "708", and pmPowerMonitorId is "UUID
5008". Controller 2 shall report a power usage of "500 watts".

Figure 10: Scenario 6
Scenario 7: Switch with Power Distribution Units (PDU)
Consider the same scenario as example 1 with two PDUs. The
switch draws power from one of the PDU's, while the PDU's are
plugged into the switch for LAN connectivity.
The attributes of the switch and switch ports are the same as
in Scenario 1. The attributes of the PDUs are given below.
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
The PDU's are network peers of the switch, with their own
management agent and no pmPowerMonitor parent pmPowerMonitorId,
as the PDU's are Power Monitor Parent themselves. The power
usage of the PDU's are reporting 3000 watts and 12000 watts
categorized as 'Meter'.
This example is used to illustrate the distinction between
power supply, metering, and LAN connectivity: the PDUs supply
and meter power to the switch, while the PC has LAN
connectivity from the phone, but is powered from the wall
outlet. However, the Power Monitor Parent sends power control
messages to both the Power Monitor children (IP phone and PC)
and the children react upon those messages.

Figure 11: Scenario 7
Scenario 8: Power Consumption of UPS
Data centers and commercial buildings can have Uninterruptible
Power Supplies (UPS) connected to the network. The Power Monitor
can be used to model a UPS as a Power Monitor Parent with the
connected devices as Power Monitor Children.
EDITOR'S NOTE: the example will be completed in the future.
Scenario 9: Power Consumption of Battery-based Devices
As specified in [POWER-MON-REQ], battery state monitoring is a
requirement for the Power and Energy Monitoring MIB.
EDITOR NOTE: since a merge between this draft and [QUITTEK-
POWER-MIB] seems to be the direction that the OPSAWG IETF WG
wants to go, one idea is to copy the battery MIB module from
[QUITTEK-POWER-MIB].
7. Link with the other IETF MIBs
7.1. Link with the ENTITY MIB and the ENTITY-SENSOR MIB
RFC 4133 [RFC4133] defines the ENTITY MIB module that lists the
physical entities of a networking device (router, switch,
etc...) and those physical entities listed indexed by
entPhysicalIndex. From an energy management point of view, the
physical entities that consume or produce energy are of
interest.
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
RFC 3433 [RFC3433] defines the ENTITY-SENSOR MIB module that
provides a standardized way of obtaining information (current
value of the sensor, operational status of the sensor, and the
data units precision) from sensors embedded in networking
devices. Sensors are associated with each index of
entPhysicalIndex of the ENTITY MIB [RFC4133]. While the focus
of the Power and Energy Monitoring MIB, is on measurement of
power usage of networking equipment indexed by the ENTITY MIB,
this MIB proposes a customized power scale for power measurement
and different power level states of networking equipment and a
functionality to configure the power level states.
When this MIB module is used to monitor the power usage of
devices such as routers and switches, the ENTITY MIB and ENTITY-
SENSOR MIB SHOULD be implemented. In such cases, the Power
Monitors are modeled by the entPhysicalIndex through the
pmPhysicalEntity MIB object specified in the pmTable.
However, the ENTITY-SENSOR MIB [RFC3433] doesn't have the ANSI
C12.x accuracy classes required for electricity, i.e., 1%, 2%,
0.5% accuracy classes: indeed, the entPhySensorPrecision
[RFC3433] represents "The number of decimal places of precision
in fixed-point sensor values returned by the associated
entPhySensorValue object". The ANSI and IEC Standards are used
for power measurement and these standards require that we use an
accuracy class, and not the scientific number precision model as
specified in RFC3433. The pmPowerAccuracy MIB object models
this accuracy. Note that the pmPowerUnitMultipler represents
the scale factor per IEC 61850, which is a more logical
representation for power measurements (compared to
entPhySensorScale), with the mantissa and the exponent values X
* 10 ^ Y.
Power measurements specifying the qualifier 'UNITS' for each
measured value in watts are used by the LLDP-EXT-MED-MIB, POE
[RFC3621], and UPS [RFC1628] MIBs. The same 'UNITS' qualifier
is used for the power measurement values.
One cannot assume that the ENTITY MIB and ENTITY-SENSOR MIB are
implemented for all Power Monitor that needs to be monitored. A
typical example is a converged building gateway, monitoring
several other devices in the building, doing the proxy between
SNMP and a protocol such as BACNET. Another example is the home
energy controller. In such cases, the pmPhysicalEntity value
contains the zero value, thanks to PhysicalIndexOrZero textual
convention.
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
The pmIndex MIB object has been kept as the unique Power Monitor
index. The pmPower is similar to entPhySensorValue [RFC3433]
and the pmPowerUnitMultipler is similar to entPhySensorScale.
7.2. Link with the ENTITY-STATE MIB
For each entity in the ENTITY-MIB [RFC4133], the ENTITY-STATE
MIB [RFC4268] specifies the operational states (entStateOper:
unknown, enabled, disabled, testing), the alarm (entStateAlarm:
unknown, underRepair, critical, major, minor, warning,
indeterminate) and the possible values of standby states
(entStateStandby: unknown, hotStandby, coldStandby,
providingService).
From a power monitoring point of view, in contrast to the entity
operational states of entities, Power Levels are required, as
proposed in the Power and Energy Monitoring MIB module. Those
Power Levels can be mapped to the different operational states
in the ENTITY-STATE MIB, if a formal mapping is required. For
example, the entStateStandby "unknown", "hotStandby",
"coldStandby", states could map to the Power Level "unknown",
"ready", "standby", respectively, while the entStateStandby
"providingService" could map to any "low" to "high" Power Level.
7.3. Link with the POWER-OVER-ETHERNET MIB
Power-over-Ethernet MIB [RFC3621] provides energy monitoring and
configuration framework for power over Ethernet devices. The
RFC introduces a concept of a port group on a switch to define
power monitoring and management policy and does not use the
entPhysicalIndex as index. Indeed, the
pethMainPseConsumptionPower is indexed by the
pethMainPseGroupIndex, which has no mapping with the
entPhysicalIndex.
One cannot assume that the Power-over-Ethernet MIB is
implemented for all Power Monitors that need to be monitored. A
typical example is a converged building gateway, monitoring
several other devices in the building, doing the proxy between
SNMP and a protocol such as BACNET. Another example is the home
energy controller. In such cases, the pmethPortIndex and
pmethPortGrpIndex values contain the zero value, thanks to new
PethPsePortIndexOrZero and textual PethPsePortGroupIndexOrZero
conventions.
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
However, if the Power-over-Ethernet MIB [RFC3621] is supported,
the Power Monitor pmethPortIndex and pmethPortGrpIndex contain
the pethPsePortIndex and pethPsePortGroupIndex, respectively.
As a consequence, the pmIndex MIB object has been kept as the
unique Power Monitor index.
Note that, even the Power-over-Ethernet MIB [RFC3621] was
created after the ENTITY-SENSOR MIB [RFC3433], it does not reuse
the precision notion from the ENTITY-SENSOR MIB, i.e. the
entPhySensorPrecision MIB object.
7.4. Link with the UPS MIB
To protect against unexpected power disruption, data centers and
buildings make use of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). To
protect critical assets, a UPS can be restricted to a particular
subset or domain of the network. UPS usage typically can last
only for a finite period of time, until normal power supply is
restored. Planning is required to decide on the capacity of UPS
based on output power and duration of probable power outage.
From a power provisioning point of view of a data center or
building, it is important to understand the total demand
required to support all the entities in order to plan on the
capacity of the UPS to be installed. This demand can be
monitored via the Power and Energy Monitoring MIB.
UPS MIB [RFC1628] provides information on the state of the UPS
network. Implementation of UPS MIB is useful at the aggregate
level of a data center or a building. The MIB module contains
several groups of variables - upsIdent - to identify the UPS
entity (name, model,..), the upsBattery group - to indicate the
battery state, (upsbatteryStatus, upsEstimatedMinutesRemaining,
...), upsInput group - to characterize the input load to the UPS
(number of input lines, voltage, current,...) , upsOutput - to
characterize the output from the UPS (number of output lines,
voltage, current,...), upsAlarms - to indicate the various alarm
events. The measurement of power in UPS MIB are in Volts, Amps
and Watts. The units of power measurement are RMS volts, RMS
Amps and are not based on EntitySensorDataScale and
EntitySensorDataPrecision of Entity-Sensor MIB.
Both the Power and Energy Monitoring MIB and the UPS MIB may be
implemented on the same UPS SNMP agent, without conflict. In
such a case, the UPS device itself would be the Power Monitor
Parent and any the UPS meters or submeters would be the Power
Monitor Children.

Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
7.5. Link with the LLDP and LLDP-MED MIBs
The LLDP Protocol is a Data Link Layer protocol used by network
devices for advertising of their identities, capabilities, and
interconnections on a LAN network.
The Media Endpoint Discovery is an enhancement of LLDP, known as
LLDP-MED. The LLDP-MED enhancements specifically address voice
applications. LLDP-MED covers 6 basic areas - capabilities
discovery, LAN speed and duplex discovery, network policy
discovery, location identification discovery, inventory
discovery, and power discovery.
Of particular interest to the current MIB module is the power
discovery, which allows the end device such as a PoE phone to
convey power requirement to the switch. In the power discovery,
the LLDP-MED has four Type Length Value (TLV): power type, power
source, power priority and power value. Respectively, those
TLVs provide information related to the type of power (power
sourcing entity versus powered device), how the device is
powered (from the line, from a backup source, from external
power source, etc.), the power priority (how important is it
that this device has power?), and how much power the device
needs.
The power priority specified in the LLDP-MED MIB [LLDP-MED-MIB]
actually comes from the Power-over-Ethernet MIB [RFC3621]. If
the Power-over-Ethernet MIB [RFC3621] is supported, the exact
value from the pethPsePortPowerPriority [RFC3621] is copied over
in the lldpXMedRemXPoEPDPowerPriority [LLDP-MED-MIB], otherwise
the value in lldpXMedRemXPoEPDPowerPriority is "unknown". From
the Power and Energy Monitoring MIB, it is possible to identify
the pethPsePortPowerPriority [RFC3621], thanks to the
pmethPortIndex and pmethPortGrpIndex.
The lldpXMedLocXPoEPDPowerSource [LLDP-MED-MIB] is similar to
pmPowerOrigin to indicate if the power for an attached device is
local or from a remote device. If LLDP-MED MIB is supported, the
following mapping can be applied to the pmPowerOrigin;
lldpXMedLocXPoEPDPowerSource fromPSE(2) and local(3) can be
mapped to remote(2) and self(1), respectively.

Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
8. Structure of the MIB
The primary MIB object in this MIB module is the
PowerMonitorMIBObject. The pmTable table of
PowerMonitorMibObject describes an entity in the network that is
a Power Monitor.
A Power Monitor contains information to describe the entity in
the context of the network (such as its Power Monitor Meter
Domain pmDomainName) and attributes for describing its business
context (such as pmImportance, pmRoleDescription and
pmKeywords).
A Power Monitor contains information describing its power usage
(pmPower) along with its power state (pmPowerLevel). Along with
the power usage is information describing how the power usage
was determined (such as pmPowerMeasurementCaliber and
pmPowerOrigin).
The pmPowerLevelMappingTable table enumerates the maximum power
usage in watts, for every single manufacturer power level.
Furthermore, this table maps the manufacturer power levels with
the Power Levels specified in this document, more specifically
with the PowerMonitorLevel textual convention. Finally, this
table returns the name of each manufacturer power level.
A Power Monitor may also contain an optional pmPowerQuality
table that describes the electrical characteristics associated
with the current power state and usage.
A Power Monitor may contain an optional pmDemandEnergyTable to
describe energy information over time.
A Power Monitor may also contain optional battery information
associated with this entity.
EDITOR NOTE: since a merge between this draft and [QUITTEK-
POWER-MIB] seems to be the direction that the OPSAWG IETF WG
wants to go, one idea is to copy the battery MIB module from
[QUITTEK-POWER-MIB].

PowerMonitorLevel ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An enumerated integer value that represents the value of the
power policy level, a current power setting at which a Power
Monitor uses power.
There are twelve power policy levels; divided into six
operational states, and six non-operational states. The lowest
non-operational state is 1 and the highest is six. Each non-
operational state corresponds to an ACPI level [ACPI].
Global and System level state between G3 (hard-off) and G1
(sleeping). For operational levels, 6 is the lowest, and 12 the
highest (full power). Each operational level represent a
performance state, and may be mapped to ACPI states P0 (maximum
performance & power) through P5 (minimum performance and minimum
power).
An entity may have fewer power levels than twelve and would then
map several policy levels to the same power state. Entities
with more than twelve levels, would choose which twelve to
represent as power policy levels.
Note that Power Monitor Parent MUST report some of the non
operational Power Levels of its Power Monitor Children who are
unable to report their Power Level. A typical example a phone
which may notify its Power Monitor Parent that it will go into a
mechoff(1) or hibernate(3) state so that the Power Monitor
Parent can report the phone's current state, for example either
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
zero or 1 watt. Conversely, a PC with Desktop and mobile
Architecture for System Hardware [DASH] out-of-band management
is an example where a Power Monitor Child can report its usage
and level even when in a non-operational state.
In each of the non operational levels (from mechoff(1) to
ready(6)), the Power Level preceding it is expected to have a
lower power consumption and a longer delay in returning to an
operational state.
mechoff(1) : An off state where no entity features are
available. The entity is unavailable.
No energy is being consumed and the power
connector can be removed. This
corresponds to the level G3 in ACPI.
softoff(2) : Similar to mechoff(1), but some
components remain powered or receive
trace power so that the entity
can be woken from its off state. In
softoff(2), no context is saved and the
device typically requires a complete boot
when awakened. This corresponds to level
G2 in ACPI.
hibernate(3): No entity features are available. The
entity may be woken up without requiring
a complete boot, but the time for
availability is longer than sleep(4). An
example for state hibernate(3) is a save-
to-disk state where DRAM context is not
maintained. Typically, energy consumption
is zero or close to zero. This
corresponds to level G1, S4 in ACPI.
sleep(4) : No entity features are available, except
for out-of-band management, for example
wake-up mechanisms. The time for
availability is longer than standby(5).
An example for state sleep(4) is a save-
to-RAM state, where DRAM context is
maintained. Typically, energy
consumption is close to zero. This
corresponds to level G1, S3 in ACPI.
standby(5) : No entity features are available, except
for out-of-band management, for example
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
wake-up mechanisms. This mode is analogous
to cold-standy. The time for availability
is longerthan ready(6). For example, the
processor context is not maintained.
Typically, energy consumption is close to
zero. This corresponds to level G1, S2 in
ACPI.
ready(6) : No entity features are available, except
for out-of-band management, for example
wake-up mechanisms. This mode is
analogous to hot-standy. The entity can
be quickly transitioned into an
operational state. For example,
processors are not executing, but
processor context is maintained. This
corresponds to level G1, S1 in ACPI.
lowMinus(7) : Indicates some entity features may not be
available and the entity has taken
measures/options to provide less than
low(8) usage. This corresponds to
ACPI State G0; which includes operational
levels lowMinus(7) to full(12).
low(8) : Indicates some features may not be
available and the entity has taken
measures or selected options to provide
less than mediumMinus(9) usage.
mediumMinus(9) : Indicates all entity features are
available but the entity has taken
measures/options to provide less than
medium(10) usage.
medium(10) : Indicates all entity features are
available but the entity has taken
measures/options to provide less than
highMinus(11) usage.
highMinus(11) : Indicates all entity features are
available and power usage is less
than high(12).
high(12) : Indicates all entity features are
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 35]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
available and the entity is consuming the
highest power.
Note that unknown(0) is not a Power Level as such, but
simply an indication that the Power Level unavailable. "

10. Security Considerations
Some of the readable objects in these MIB modules (i.e., objects
with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is
thus important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these
objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these objects
when sending them over the network via SNMP.
There are a number of management objects defined in these MIB
modules with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-
create. Such objects MAY be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments. The support for SET operations in
a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a
negative effect on network operations. The following are the
tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
. Unauthorized changes to the pmDomainName, pmName, and/or
pmRoleDescription, MAY disrupt the power and energy
collection, and therefore any predefined policies defined
in the network.
. Unauthorized changes to the pmPowerLevel MAY disrupt the
power settings of the different Power Monitor, and
therefore the level of functionality of the respective
Power Monitors.
<Claise, et. Al> Expires March 25, 2011 [Page 74]
Internet-Draft <Energy Monitoring MIB> Sept 2010
. Unauthorized changes to the pmDemandControlTable MAY
disrupt the energy measurement in the pmDemandEnergyTable
table.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using
IPsec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure
network is allowed to access and GET/SET
(read/change/create/delete) the objects in these MIB modules.
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410],
section 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic
mechanisms (for authentication and privacy).
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator
responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to
an instance of these MIB modules is properly configured to give
access to the objects only to those principals (users) that have
legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete)
them.
11. IANA Considerations
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:
Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
---------- -----------------------
PowerMonitorMIB { mib-2 xxx }
Additions to this MIB module are subject to Expert Review
[RFC5226], i.e., review by one of a group of experts designated
by an IETF Area Director. The group of experts MUST check the
requested MIB objects for completeness and accuracy of the
description. Requests for MIB objects that duplicate the
functionality of existing objects SHOULD be declined. The
smallest available OID SHOULD be assigned to a new MIB objects.
The specification of new MIB objects SHOULD follow the structure
specified in Section 6 and MUST be published using a well-
established and persistent publication medium.
