7 Typ e t h e SNMP Community String to which the destination
management station belongs.
NOTE: The community string on the Chassis Event Alert Destinations page
differs from the community string on the Chassis→ Network/Security→
Services page. The SNMP traps community string is the community that the
CMC uses for outbound traps destined to management stations. The
community string on the Chassis→ Network/Security→ Services page is the
community string that management stations use to query the SNMP daemon
on the CMC.

To test an event trap for an alert destination:
1
Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Chassis in the system tree.
3 Click the Alert Management tab. The Chassis Events page appears.
4 Click the Traps Settings tab. The Chassis Event Alert Destinations
page displays.
5 Click Send in the Test Trap column beside the destination.
NOTE: Specify trap destinations as appropriately-formatted numeric addresses
(IPv6 or IPv4), or Fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs). Choose a format that is
consistent with your networking technology/infrastructure. The testtrap
functionality is unable to detect improper choices based on current network
configuration (e.g. use of an IPv6 destination in an IPv4-only environment).
Using RACADM
1 Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC and log in.
NOTE: Only one filter mask may be set for both SNMP and e-mail alerting.
You may skip step 2 if you have already selected filter mask.
2 Enable alerting by typing:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1
3
Specify the events for which you want the CMC to generate by typing:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o
cfgAlertingFilterMask <
mask value >
where <mask value> is a hex value between 0x0 and 0x017fffdf.
