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 iDRAC. For systems with large number of nodes, it may not be efficient for a management station to poll each iDRAC 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. SNMP v1, v2, and v3 formats are supported.

You can configure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings. You can also specify the SNMP v3 user to whom you want to send the SNMP traps.

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

You have Configure RAC permission.

You have configured the event filters.

Configuring IP Alert Destinations

You can configure the IPv6 or IPv4 addresses to receive the IPMI alerts or SNMP traps. For information about the iDRAC MIBs required to monitor the servers using SNMP, see the SNMP Reference Guide for iDRAC8 available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Configuring IP Alert Destinations Using Web Interface

To configure alert destination settings using Web interface:

1.Go to Overview Server Alerts SNMP and E-mail Settings.

2.Select the State option to enable an alert destination (IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)) to receive the traps.

You can specify up to eight destination addresses. For more information about the options, see the iDRAC Online Help.

3.Select the SNMP v3 user to whom you want to send the SNMP trap.

4.Enter the iDRAC SNMP community string (applicable only for SNMPv1 and v2) and the SNMP alert port number.

For more information about the options, see the iDRAC Online Help.

NOTE: The Community String value indicates the community string to use in a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) alert trap sent from iDRAC. Make sure that the destination community string is the same as the iDRAC community string. The default value is Public.

5.To test whether the IP address is receiving the IPMI or SNMP traps, click Send under Test IPMI Trap and Test SNMP Trap respectively.

6.Click Apply.
