Connectivity Guide
The iDRAC8 generates events in response to changes in the status of sensors and other monitored
parameters. When an event with predefined characteristics occurs on your system, the SNMP subagent
sends information about the event, along with trap variables, to the management console.
Each event generates an identifier called the trap ID and a list of trap variables that provide additional
details about the event. The trap variables are listed in the following on Trap Variables.
The traps of the iDRAC8 MIB are organized into five subgroups of traps. Each subgroup corresponds to
one of the five categories of events that iDRAC8 supports (the System Health, Storage Health, Updates,
Audit, and Configuration categories). Here is a list of the trap subgroups are:
• System Trap Group
• Storage Trap Group
• Updates Trap Group
• Audit Trap Group
• Configuration Trap Group
The trap subgroups, and all the traps within each trap subgroup, are described and listed in sections
following the Trap Variables section.
NOTE: The traps listed in this document can be correlated to specific events that are documented
in the Dell Event Message Reference guide. There is 1-to-many relationship between SNMP traps
and events in iDRAC8. To correlate a trap to a specific event or set of events, you can match the
Trap ID value of a trap in this document to the Trap/Event ID value of events in the Dell Event
Message Reference guide.
Trap Variables
This section lists the six variables that are sent with iDRAC7 traps to provide additional information about
a trap or alert generated by some event on the system. The trap variables presented here apply to all
iDRAC7 traps. The trap variables are sent in the order listed and are reserved for use only in traps.
