NOTE: The Community String value indicates the community string to use in a Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) alert trap sent from iDRAC. Make sure that the destination
community string is the same as the iDRAC community string. The default value is Public.
5. To test whether the IP address is receiving the IPMI or SNMP traps, click Send under Test IPMI Trap
and Test SNMP Trap respectively.
6. Click Apply.
The alert destinations are configured.
7. In the SNMP Trap Format section, select the protocol version to be used to send the traps on the
trap destination(s) — SNMP v1, SNMP v2, or SNMP v3 and click Apply.
NOTE: The SNMP Trap Format option applies only for SNMP Traps and not for IPMI Traps. IPMI
Traps are always sent in SNMP v1 format and is not based on the configured SNMP Trap Format
option.
The SNMP trap format is configured.
Configuring IP alert destinations using RACADM
To configure the trap alert settings:
1. To enable traps:
• For IPv4 address:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPet -o cfgIpmiPetAlertEnable -i (index) (0|1)
• For IPv6 address:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPetIpv6 -o cfgIpmiPetIpv6AlertEnable -i (index)
(0|1)
where, (index) is the destination index and 0 or 1 disables or enables the trap, respectively.
For example, to enable trap with index 4, enter the following command:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPet -o cfgIpmiPetAlertEnable -i 4 1
2. To configure the trap destination address:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPetIpv6 -o cfgIpmiPetIpv6AlertDestIPAddr -i
[index] [IP-address]
where [index] is the trap destination index and [IP-address] is the destination IP address of the
system that receives the platform event alerts.
3. Configure the SNMP community name string:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiLan -o cfgIpmiPetCommunityName [name]
where [name] is the SNMP Community Name.
4. To configure SNMP destination:
• To set the SNMP trap destination for SNMPv3:
racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.[index].DestAddr [Ip address]
For example,
racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.1.DestAddr 1.2.3.4
• To set SNMPv3 users for trap destinations:
racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.1.SNMPv3Username root
