The device is listed on the Device Inventory page with a Conguring SNMP status. After conguring the SNMP settings,
SupportAssist automatically veries if the iDRAC can forward alerts successfully. If the verication of the SNMP conguration is
successful, the status changes to OK. If the device displays an error status, click the error link to see a description of
the issue and the possible resolution steps.
Next steps
NOTE: If an issue occurs during the SNMP conguration, the device displays an appropriate status on the Device
Inventory page. To retry the SNMP conguration, you can use the More Tasks list available on the Device Inventory page.

Manually conguring the alert destination of iDRAC by using the web interface
Perform the following steps to manually congure the alert destination of an iDRAC:
1. Log in to the iDRAC web interface.
2. Go to Overview → Server → Alerts.
3. In the Alerts section, make sure that the Enabled option is selected.
4. In the Alerts Filter section, make sure that the following options are selected:
• System Health
• Storage
• Conguration

• Warning
• Critical
5. In the Alerts and Remote System Log Conguration section, make sure that all elds in the SNMP Trap column are selected.
6. Click SNMP and Email Settings.
7. In the IP Destination List section, select the State option to enable the alert destination eld.
You can specify up to eight destination addresses. For more information about the options, see the iDRAC Online Help.
