Using Dell Smart Plug-in (SPI) 31

SNMP Interceptor Policies

The SNMP interceptor policies have predefined rules to process all the Server

Administrator/Storage System SNMP traps sent by the Dell devices to the

management server, generate formatted messages, and send them to the

HPOM console.

Dell SPI provides two SNMP policies:

• Dell_Process_SNMPTraps

• Dell_Process_SNMPTraps_AckManual

Dell_Process_SNMPTraps Policy

This policy has the trap correlation feature enabled and you can auto-deploy

this policy when you are installing the Dell SPI. For every trap received from

the Dell systems, it processes the traps in the following way:

Sends a message to the active message browser of the node on the HPOM

console, which sends the trap.

For all

Normal

traps, the policy auto-acknowledges the messages and

moves them from the active message browser to the acknowledged

message browser of the node.

For all

Critical

and

Warning

traps, the policy auto-acknowledges the trap

once it receives a trap with the information that the issue for the critical or

warning trap is resolved. It retains the critical and warning messages in the

active message browser.

For more information on the trap correlation, see the

Dell SPI Trap

Correlation Guide

available on the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com/manuals.

NOTE: If there is any message corresponding to an SNMP trap present in an

active message browser for a particular Dell system, and the SNMP

interceptor policy receives the same trap again, then it is counted as a

duplicate trap, if message suppression is enabled.

The policy reflects the severity of the message in the
