Enabling Or Disabling Alerts Using RACADM
To enable or disable generating alerts, use the cfgAlertingEnable RACAM object. For more information, see the Chassis
Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
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 Chassis Conguration Administrator privilege.

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.
