Conguring IP alert destinations using web interface
To congure alert destination settings using Web interface:
1 Go to Overview > Server > Alerts > SNMP and E-mail Settings.
2 Select the State option to enable an alert destination (IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or Fully Qualied Domain Name (FQDN)) to receive
the traps.
You can specify up to eight destination addresses. For more information about the options, see the iDRAC Online Help.
3 Select the SNMP v3 user to whom you want to send the SNMP trap.
4 Enter the iDRAC SNMP community string (applicable only for SNMPv1 and v2) and the SNMP alert port number.
For more information about the options, see the iDRAC Online Help.
NOTE: The Community String value indicates the community string to use in a Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) alert trap sent from iDRAC. Make sure that the destination community string is the same as the iDRAC
community string. The default value is Public.
5 To test whether the IP address is receiving the IPMI or SNMP traps, click Send under Test IPMI Trap and Test SNMP Trap
respectively.
6 Click Apply.
The alert destinations are congured.
7 In the SNMP Trap Format section, select the protocol version to be used to send the traps on the trap destination(s) — SNMP v1,

: The SNMP Trap Format option applies only for SNMP Traps and not for IPMI Traps. IPMI Traps are always sent

The SNMP trap format is congured.
