NAME
       fence_ipdu - Fence agent for iPDU over SNMP

DESCRIPTION
       fence_ipdu  is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the IBM iPDU
       network power switch. It logs into a device  via	 SNMP  and  reboots  a
       specified  outlet. It supports SNMP v3 with all combinations of authenā€
       ticity/privacy settings.

       fence_ipdu accepts options on the command line as well as  from	stdin.
       Fenced  sends  parameters  through  stdin  when	it  execs  the	agent.
       fence_ipdu can be run by itself with command  line  options.   This  is
       useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
