6.10.9 Platform Event Filter (PEF)
The BMC includes the ability to generate a selectable action, such as a system power-off or reset, when a
match occurs to one of a configurable set of events. This capability is called Platform Event Filtering, or PEF.
One of the available PEF actions is to trigger the BMC to send a LAN alert to one or more destinations.
The BMC supports 20 PEF filters. The first twelve entries in the PEF filter table are pre-configured (but may be
changed by the user). The remaining entries are left blank, and may be configured by the user.

 Alerts
The “Diagnostic interrupt” action is not supported.
6.10.10 LAN Alerting
The BMC supports sending embedded LAN alerts, called SNMP PET (Platform Event traps), and SMTP email
alerts.
The BMC supports a minimum of four LAN alert destinations.
6.10.10.1 SNMP Platform Event Traps (PETs)
This feature enables a target system to send SNMP traps to a designated IP address by means of LAN. These
alerts are formatted per the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0.
A Modular Information Block (MIB) file associated with the traps is provided with the BMC firmware to facilitate
interpretation of the traps by external software. The format of the MIB file is covered under RFC 2578.
6.10.11 Alert Policy Table
Associated with each PEF entry is an alert policy that determines which IPMI channel the alert is to be sent.
There is a maximum of 20 alert policy entries. There are no pre-configured entries in the alert policy table
because the destination types and alerts may vary by user. Each entry in the alert policy table contains four
bytes for a maximum table size of 80 bytes.
6.10.11.1 E-mail Alerting
The Embedded Email Alerting feature allows the user to receive e-mails alerts indicating issues with the
server. This allows e-mail alerting in an OS-absent (for example, Pre-OS and OS-Hung) situation. This feature
