Configuring IP Alert Destinations
You can configure the IPv6 or IPv4 addresses to receive the IPMI alerts or SNMP traps. For information about the iDRAC MIBs required
to monitor the servers using SNMP, see the SNMP Reference Guide for iDRAC8 available at dell.com/support/manuals.
Configuring IP Alert Destinations Using Web Interface
To configure 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 Qualified 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 configured.
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,
SNMP v2, or SNMP v3 and click Apply.
NOTE:
The SNMP Trap Format option applies only for SNMP Traps and not for IPMI Traps. IPMI Traps are always
sent in SNMP v1 format and is not based on the configured SNMP Trap Format option.
The SNMP trap format is configured.
Configuring IP Alert Destinations Using RACADM
To configure the trap alert settings:
1. To enable traps:
• For IPv4 address:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPet -o cfgIpmiPetAlertEnable -i (index) (0|1)
• For IPv6 address:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPetIpv6 -o cfgIpmiPetIpv6AlertEnable -i (index) (0|1)
where, (index) is the destination index and 0 or 1 disables or enables the trap, respectively.
For example, to enable trap with index 4, enter the following command:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPet -o cfgIpmiPetAlertEnable -i 4 1
2. To configure the trap destination address:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPetIpv6 -o cfgIpmiPetIpv6AlertDestIPAddr -i [index] [IP-address]
where [index] is the trap destination index and [IP-address] is the destination IP address of the system that receives the
platform event alerts.
