Setting up LAN alerts

To set up LAN alerts:

1 Boot your server from the Server Companion CD, then select System Setup

Utility

from the menu. The System Setup Utility starts.

2 In the SSU Main window, click Platform Event Manager (PEM).

3 In the PEM window, click Configure LAN.

4 Click to select the Enable LAN Alerts check box.

5 In the SNMP Community String box, you can type an optional string for the

community field in the

Header section of the SNMP trap sent for an alert.

The string must be from 5 to 16 characters. The default string is

PUBLIC.

6 In the IP Setup box, click either:

■ DHCP—The IP address for the server is automatically assigned by the

DHCP (dynamic host control protocol) server on the network. The

Host, Gateway, and Subnet Mask boxes in the dialog box are ignored.

■ Static—Assign the IP address for the server using the Host, Gateway,

and Subnet Mask boxes in the dialog box.

7 If you chose Static IP Setup in the previous step, complete the IP addressing

boxes:

■ Host IP Address—The IP address of this server.

■ Gateway IP Address—The IP address of the router for this server.

■ Subnet Mask—The IP address for the server’s subnet. The server uses

this to decide if the alert destination is on the same subnet.

8 In the Alert IP Address box, complete the IP address of the system you want

the alerts sent to. If you want the alert to be broadcast to an entire subnet,

enter the IP address for the subnet.

9 Click Options, then click Configure Event Actions.
