Conguring email alert, SNMP trap, or IPMI trap

settings

The management station uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) traps

to receive data from iDRAC. For systems with large number of nodes, it may not be ecient for a management station to poll each iDRAC

for every condition that may occur. For example, event traps can help a management station with load balancing between nodes or by

issuing an alert if an authentication failure occurs. SNMP v1, v2, and v3 formats are supported.

You can congure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings. You can also

specify the SNMP v3 user to whom you want to send the SNMP traps.

Before conguring the email, SNMP, or IPMI trap settings, make sure that:

• You have Congure RAC permission.

• You have congured the event lters.
