Installation Manual

Configuring the SNMP alert settings
1. Navigate to the Administration→Management page.
2. On the SNMP Settings tab, scroll to the SNMP Alerts section.
3. Configure the Trap Source Identifier by selecting iLO Hostname or OS Hostname.
4. Enable or disable the following alert types:
• iLO SNMP Alerts
• Forward Insight Manager Agent SNMP Alerts
• Cold Start Trap Broadcast
• SNMPv1 Traps
5. Optional: To generate a test alert and send it to the TCP/IP addresses in the SNMP Alert
Destination(s) boxes, click Send Test Alert.
Test alerts include an Insight Management SNMP trap, and are used to verify the network
connectivity of iLO in HPE SIM. Only users with the Configure iLO Settings privilege can
send test alerts.
After the alert is generated, a confirmation dialog box opens. Check the HPE SIM console
for receipt of the alert.
6. To save the configuration, click Apply.

SNMP alert settings
• Trap Source Identifier—Determines the host name that is used in the SNMP-defined
sysName variable when iLO generates SNMP traps. The default setting is iLO Hostname.
NOTE: The host name is an OS construct and does not remain persistent with the server
when the hard drives are moved to a new server platform. The iLO sysName, however,
remains persistent with the system board.
• iLO SNMP Alerts—Alert conditions that iLO detects independently of the host operating
system can be sent to specified SNMP alert destinations, such as HPE SIM. If this option
is disabled, no traps will be sent to the configured SNMP alert destinations.
• Forward Insight Manager Agent SNMP Alerts—Alert conditions detected by the host
management agents can be forwarded to SNMP alert destinations through iLO. The Insight
Management Agents generate these alerts, which are available for each supported operating
system. Insight Management Agents must be installed on the host server to receive these
alerts.
• Cold Start Trap Broadcast—When this option is enabled and no valid trap destinations
are configured, Cold Start Trap is broadcast to a subnet broadcast address.
The Cold Start Trap is broadcast when any of the following conditions is met:
◦ SNMP Alert Destinations are not configured.
◦ iLO failed to resolve all of the SNMP Alert Destinations to IP addresses.
The subnet broadcast address for an IPv4 host is obtained by performing a bitwise logical
OR operation between the bit complement of the subnet mask and the host IP address. For
