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.
NOTE: The commands in steps 2–5 overwrites any existing settings congured for the index specied (1–4). To determine
whether an index has previously congured values, type: racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>. If the index
is congured, values appear for the cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr and cfgTrapsCommunityName objects.
6 To test an event trap for an alert destination, type:
racadm testtrap -i <index>
where <index> is a value 1–4 representing the alert destination you want to test.
If you are not sure of the index number, use:
racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>
Conguring e-mail alert settings
When CMC detects a chassis event, such as an environmental warning or a component failure, it can be congured to send an e-mail alert
to one or more e-mail addresses.
You must congure the SMTP email server to accept relayed emails from the CMC IP address, a feature which is normally turned o in
most mail servers due to security concerns. For instructions to do this in a secure manner, see the documentation that was provided with
the SMTP server.
NOTE
: If your mail server is Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, make sure that CMC domain name is congured for the mail
server to receive the email alerts from CMC.
NOTE: Email alerts support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The DRAC DNS Domain Name must be specied when using IPv6.
If your network has an SMTP server that releases and renews IP address leases periodically, and the addresses are dierent, then there is a
duration when this property setting does not work due to change in the specied SMTP server IP address. In such cases, use the DNS
name.
