Configuring SNMP trap destination address for iDRAC using
RACADM
1. Launch the iDRAC RACADM CLI by running the following ssh command:
ssh root@<iDRAC IP>
2. Change the command mode to racadm by running the following command:
racadm
3. Set the iDRAC SNMP port for receiving alerts by running the following command:
racadm set idrac.SNMP.AlertPort <Trap Port Number>
4. Enable the SNMP monitoring protocol by running the following command:
racadm set idrac.SNMP.TrapFormat <Trap Format>
(Values for <Trap Format>: 0– SNMPv1, 1–SNMPv2, 2–SNMPv3)
5. Set the SNMP trap destination by running the following command:
racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.Alert.DestAddr.<index> <Trap Destination IP Address>
(This will override the trap destination address, if any, existing in that index)
6. Enable the index by running the following command:
racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.Alert.Enable.<index> 1
(Only eight trap destinations can be configured in iDRAC. You can only pass a trap destination <index> value from 1 to 8.)
7. Then run the following command to enable global e-mail alerting:
racadm set iDRAC.IPMILan.AlertEnable 1
8. Then run the following command to clear all available alert settings:
racadm eventfilters set -c idrac.alert.all -a none -n SNMP
You can also use the Perl based command line script to configure the SNMP parameters for multiple iDRACs (Dell 12th and later
generation of PowerEdge Servers). For more information go to en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/
