VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support//manuals.
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.

To congure IPv4 or IPv6 alert destination settings using CMC Web interface:
1 In the left pane, click Chassis Overview > Alerts > Trap Settings.
2 On the Chassis Event Alert Destinations page, type the following:
• In the Destination eld, type a valid IP address. Use the quad-dotted 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 name to which the destination management station belongs.
This community string diers from the community string on the Chassis Overview > Network > Services page. The SNMP traps
