Conguring SNMP trap destination address for iDRAC

using RACADM

1 Launch the iDRAC RACADM CLI by running the following ssh command:

ssh root@<iDRAC IP>

2 Change the command mode to racadm by running the following command:

racadm

3 Set the iDRAC SNMP port for receiving alerts by running the following command:

racadm set idrac.SNMP.AlertPort <Trap Port Number>

4 Enable the SNMP monitoring protocol by running the following command:

racadm set idrac.SNMP.TrapFormat <Trap Format>

(Values for <Trap Format>: 0– SNMPv1, 1–SNMPv2, 2–SNMPv3)

5 Set the SNMP trap destination by running the following command:

racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.Alert.DestAddr.<index> <Trap Destination IP Address>

(This will override the trap destination address, if any, existing in that index)

6 Enable the index by running the following command:

racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.Alert.Enable.<index> 1

(Only eight trap destinations can be congured in iDRAC. You can only pass a trap destination <index> value from 1 to 8.)

7 Then run the following command to enable global e-mail alerting:

racadm set iDRAC.IPMILan.AlertEnable 1

8 Then run the following command to clear all available alert settings:

racadm eventfilters set -c idrac.alert.all -a none -n SNMP

You can also use the Perl based command line script to congure the SNMP parameters for multiple iDRACs (Dell 12th and later generation

of PowerEdge Servers). For more information go to en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/11460.snmp-
