6. Specify the community name:
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsCommunityName <community name> -i
<index>
where <community name> is the SNMP community to which the chassis belongs, and <index> is
the index value specified in steps 4 and 5.
You can configure up to four destinations to receive traps alerts. To add more destinations, do the
tasks in steps 2–6.
NOTE: The commands in steps 2–6 overwrites any existing settings configured for the index
specified (1–4). To determine whether an index has previously-configured values, type: racadm
getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>. If the index is configured, values appear for the
cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr and cfgTrapsCommunityName objects.
7. To test an event trap for an alert destination, type:
racadm testtrap -i <index>
where <index> is a value between 1–4 representing the alert destination you want to test.
If you are not sure about the index number, run the following command:
racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>
Configuring E-Mail Alert Settings
When CMC detects a chassis event, such as an environmental warning or a component failure, it can be
configured to send an e-mail alert to one or more e-mail addresses.
You must configure the SMTP email server to accept relayed emails from the CMC IP address, a feature
which is normally turned off in most mail servers due to security concerns. For instructions to do this in a
secure manner, see the documentation that was provided with the SMTP server.
NOTE: If your mail server is Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, make sure that iDRAC7 domain name
is configured for the mail server to receive the email alerts from iDRAC7.
NOTE: Email alerts support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The DRAC DNS Domain Name must be
specified when using IPv6.
If your network has an SMTP server that releases and renews IP address leases periodically, and the
addresses are different, then there is a duration when this property setting does not work due to change
in the specified SMTP server IP address. In such cases, use the DNS name.
Configuring Email Alert Settings Using CMC Web Interface
