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.
3. Configure the SNMP community name string:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiLan -o cfgIpmiPetCommunityName [name]
where [name] is the SNMP Community Name.
4. To configure SNMP destination:
● To set the SNMP trap destination for SNMPv3:
racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.[index].DestAddr [Ip address]
For example,
racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.1.DestAddr 1.2.3.4
● To set SNMPv3 users for trap destinations:
racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.1.SNMPv3Username root
● To enable SNMPv3 for a user:
racadm set idrac.users.2.SNMPv3Enable Enabled
5. To test the trap, if required:
racadm testtrap -i [index]
where [index] is the trap destination index to test.
For more information, see the iDRAC8 RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/
