Conguring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using CMC Web Interface
To congure IPv4 or IPv6 alert destination settings using CMC Web interface:
1. In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview, and then click Alerts → Trap Settings.
The Chassis Event Alert Destinations page is displayed.
2. Enter the following:
• In the Destination eld, enter a valid IP address. Use the quad-dot IPv4 format, standard IPv6 address notation, or FQDN.
For example:
123.123.123.123 or 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 or dell.com.
Choose a format that is consistent with the networking technology or infrastructure. The Test Trap functionality cannot
detect incorrect choices based on the current network conguration (example, use of an IPv6 destination in an IPv4-only
environment).
• In the Community String eld, enter a valid community string to which the destination management station belongs.
This community string diers from the community string on the Chassis → Network → Services page. The SNMP traps
community string is the community that CMC uses for outbound traps destined to management stations. The community
string on the Chassis → Network → Services page is the community string that management stations use to query the
SNMP daemon on CMC.
NOTE: CMC uses a default SNMP community string as public. To ensure higher security, it is recommended to
change the default community string and set a value which is not blank.
• Under Enabled , select the check box corresponding to the destination IP to enable the IP address to receive the traps. You
can specify up to four IP addresses.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
4. To test whether the IP address is receiving the SNMP traps, click Send in the Test SNMP Trap column.
The IP alert destinations are congured.
Conguring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using RACADM
To congure IP alert destination using RACADM:
1. Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.
NOTE: Only one lter mask may be set for both SNMP and email alerting. You can skip step 2 if you have already
selected the lter mask.
2. Enable alert generation:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1
3. Enable traps alerts:
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsEnable 1 -i <index>
where <index> is a value between 1–4. CMC uses the index number to distinguish up to four congurable destinations for
traps alerts. Destinations may be specied as appropriately formatted numeric addresses (IPv6 or IPv4), or Fully-Qualied
Domain Names (FQDNs).
4. Specify a destination IP address to receive the traps alert:
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr <IP address> -i <index>
where <IP address> is a valid destination, and <index> is the index value specied in step 3.
5. 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
specied in steps 4 and 5.
NOTE: CMC uses a default SNMP community string as public. To ensure higher security, it is recommended to
change the default community string and set a value which is not blank.
You can congure up to four destinations to receive traps alerts. To add more destinations, repeat steps 2–5.
