Conguring SNMP Trap Destination for 12G or Later

Generation of PowerEdge Servers, PowerVault NX

Storage Arrays, and Dell Workstations

You must congure the SNMP Trap destination in the PowerEdge Servers, PowerVault NX Storage Arrays, or Dell Workstations for

forwarding the SNMP traps to a particular management station IP (that is, the MTrapd Probe Server IP address). As you can monitor these

devices through in-band (using Server Administrator in the server host) or by using iDRAC7/iDRAC8, the administrator must congure the

trap destination in the device host or iDRAC7/iDRAC8 devices respectively. The device monitoring status remains same irrespective of the

monitoring mode. The administrator must ensure that the trap destination is not congured in both modes, else redundant SNMP traps are

sent to the OMNIbus console. Therefore, it is recommended that the administrator congures the SNMP trap destination for only one

mode – either in-band or out-of-band.

To monitor these devices through in-band mode:

1 Administrators must set the SNMP trap destination as the Management Station IP/host in the in-band device host.

2 Administrators must ensure that the Management Station IP/host does not exist in the SNMP trap destination list of iDRAC7/iDRAC8

devices.

To monitor these devices through OOB mode:

1 Administrators must set the SNMP trap destination as the Management Station IP/host in iDRAC7/iDRAC8 devices.

For information on conguring the trap destinations for in-band and OOB devices, see the section Conguring Your System To Send Traps

To A Management Station in the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version User's Guide and the section Conguring IP Alert

Destinations Using RACADM in the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) User's Guide, Integrated Dell Remote Access

Controller (iDRAC) User's Guide respectively.
