Conguring alert destinations
The management station uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to receive data from CMC.
You can congure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings.
Before conguring the email alert or SNMP trap settings, make sure that you have the Chassis Conguration Administrator privilege.
Conguring SNMP trap alert destinations
You can congure the IPv6 or IPv4 addresses to receive the SNMP traps.
NOTE: For more information on conguring SNMP protocol and trap format, see the Dell Chassis Management Controller for
PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide .
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
