What type of device are you trying to get the plugin to work with?
I'm using APC rack PDUs and this plugin did not work by default for me. I had to hack it to get it work for me, but
it works exactly how I wanted it to. By the way, I'm not using the snmp - i'm using telnet.

So here is how mine's is configured:

primitive stonith-apcmaster-axigen2 stonith:apcmaster \
        params ipaddr="x.x.x.x login="axigen2" password="x.x.x.x" \
        op monitor interval="120s" timeout="20s" \
        op startup interval="0" timeout="60s" \
        
Then I have a constraint that prohibits it a node from committing suicide.

I'll describe what I did to get it going in my environment. 

I created a user account for each node on it's respective PDU and only allowed it to control it's own power.

As I mentioned, I hacked the plugin's source code and recompiled. My changes  #1 to make it work and #2, to make it work simple and plain. Login and shut-er down. I can provide you my changes if you think it will work for you.
