7 Ty pe th 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 Services page.

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 Alerts tab. The Chassis Events page displays.
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 Test Trap
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.
