Installation Manual

SNMP options
• SNMP management configuration—Choose one of the following:
◦ Agentless Management (default)—Use SNMP agents running on iLO to manage the
server. In this configuration, iLO fulfills SNMP requests sent by the client to iLO over
the network. This setting does not affect alerts.
◦ SNMP Pass-thru—Use SNMP agents running on the host operating system to manage
the server. SNMP requests sent by the client to iLO over the network are passed to the
host operating system. The responses are then passed to iLO and returned to the client
over the network. This setting does not affect alerts.
◦ Trap Community—The configured SNMP trap community string.
◦ SNMP Alert Destination(s)—The IP addresses or FQDNs of up to three remote
management systems that will receive SNMP alerts from iLO.
NOTE: Typically, you enter the HPE SIM server console IP address in one of the
SNMP Alert Destination(s) boxes.
When SNMP Alert Destinations are configured using FQDNs, and DNS provides both
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the FQDNs, iLO sends traps to the address specified by
the iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first setting on the IPv6 page. If iLO Client
Applications use IPv6 first is selected, traps will be sent to IPv6 addresses (when
available). When iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first is not selected, traps will be
sent to IPv4 addresses (when available).
◦ SNMP Port—The port used for SNMP communications. This value is read-only, but
can be modified on the Administration→Access Settings page.
To navigate to the Administration→Access Settings page, click the SNMP Port link.
For more information, see “iLO access settings” (page 61).
SNMP options (Agentless Management configuration only)
• System Location—A string of up to 49 characters that specifies the physical location of the
server.
• System Contact—A string of up to 49 characters that specifies the system administrator or
server owner. The string can include a name, email address, or phone number.
• System Role—A string of up to 64 characters that describes the server role or function.
• System Role Detail—A string of up to 512 characters that describes specific tasks that the
server might perform.
• Read Community—The configured SNMP read-only community string.
Read Community supports the following formats:
◦ A community string (for example, public).
◦ A community string followed by an IP address or FQDN (for example, public
192.168.0.1).
Use this option to specify that SNMP access will be allowed from the specified IP address
or FQDN.
For iLO 4 1.10 or later, you can enter an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or an FQDN.
