Configuring email alert, SNMP trap, or IPMI trap settings

The management station uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Intelligent Platform Management Interface

(IPMI) traps to receive data from iDRAC. For systems with large number of nodes, it may not be efficient for a management station

to poll each iDRAC for every condition that may occur. For example, event traps can help a management station with load balancing

between nodes or by issuing an alert if an authentication failure occurs. SNMP v1, v2, and v3 formats are supported.

You can configure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings. You can

also specify the SNMP v3 user to whom you want to send the SNMP traps.

Before configuring the email, SNMP, or IPMI trap settings, make sure that:

• You have Configure RAC permission.

• You have configured the event filters.
