Users Guide

By default, this feature is disabled. Though the In-band SNMP alerting mechanism can coexist along with iDRAC SNMP alerting
mechanism, the recorded logs may have redundant SNMP alerts from both the sources. It is recommended to either use the in-band or
out-of-band option, instead of using both.
Command usage
This section provides the command usages for Windows, Linux, and ESXi operating systems.
• Windows operating system
• Using the local Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI):
winrm i EnableInBandSNMPTraps
wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/DCIM_iSMService?InstanceID="iSMExportedFunctions" @{state="[0/1]"}
• Using the remote WMI interface:
winrm i EnableInBandSNMPTraps wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/DCIM_iSMService?
InstanceID="iSMExportedFunctions" @{state="[0/1]"}
-u:<admin-username> -p:<admin-passwd> -r:http://<remote-hostname OR IP>/wsman -a:Basic -
encoding:utf-8 -skipCACheck –skipCNCheck
• Linux operating system
On all iSM supported Linux operating system, iSM provides an executable command. You can run this command by logging into the
operating system by using SSH or equivalent.
Beginning with iSM 2.4.0, you can congure Agent-x as the default protocol for in-band iDRAC SNMP alerts using the following
command:
./Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 1/agentx –force
If –force is not specied, ensure that the net-SNMP is congured and restart the snmpd service.
• To enable this feature:
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 1
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh enable
• To disable this feature:
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 0
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh disable
NOTE
: The --force option congures the Net-SNMP to forward the traps. However, you must congure the trap
destination.
• VMware ESXi operating system
On all iSM supported ESXi operating systems, the iSM v2.3 supports a Common Management Programming Interface (CMPI) method
provider to enable this feature remotely by using the WinRM remote commands.
winrm i EnableInBandSNMPTraps http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/root/cimv2/
dcim/DCIM_iSMService?
__cimnamespace=root/cimv2/dcim+InstanceID=iSMExportedFunctions -u:<user-name> -p:<passwd> -
r:https://<remote-host-name
ip-address>:443/wsman -a:basic -encoding:utf-8 -skipCNCheck -skipCACheck -skipRevocationcheck
@{state="[0/1]"}
NOTE
: You must review and congure the VMware ESXi system-wide SNMP settings for
traps.
