Configuring Email Alert, SNMP Trap, or IPMI Trap Settings

The management station uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Intelligent Platform Management

Interface (IPMI) traps to receive data from iDRAC7. For systems with large number of nodes, it may not be efficient for a

management station to poll each iDRAC7 for every condition that may occur. For example, event traps can help a

management station with load balancing between nodes or by issuing an alert if an authentication failure occurs.

You can configure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings.

Before configuring the email, SNMP, or IPMI trap settings, make sure that:

• You have Configure RAC permission.

• You have configured the event filters.
