Configuring IP Alert Destinations Using RACADM

To configure the trap alert settings:

1.To enable traps:

•For IPv4 address:

racadm config -g cfgIpmiPet -o cfgIpmiPetAlertEnable -i (index) (01)

•For IPv6 address:

racadm config -g cfgIpmiPetIpv6 -o cfgIpmiPetIpv6AlertEnable -i (index) (01)

where, (index) is the destination index and 0 or 1 disables or enables the trap, respectively. For example, to enable trap with index 4, enter the following command:

racadm config -g cfgIpmiPet -o cfgIpmiPetAlertEnable -i 4 1

2.To configure the trap destination address:

racadm config -g cfgIpmiPetIpv6 -o cfgIpmiPetIpv6AlertDestIPAddr -i [index] [IP-address]

where [index] is the trap destination index and [IP-address]is the destination IP address of the system that receives the platform event alerts.

3.Configure the SNMP community name string:

racadm config -g cfgIpmiLan -o cfgIpmiPetCommunityName [name] where [name] is the SNMP Community Name.

4.To configure SNMP destination:

•To set the SNMP trap destination for SNMPv3:

racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.[index].DestAddr [Ip address]

For example,

racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.1.DestAddr 1.2.3.4

•To set SNMPv3 users for trap destinations:

racadm set idrac.SNMP.Alert.1.SNMPv3Username root

•To enable SNMPv3 for a user:

racadm set idrac.users.2.SNMPv3Enable Enabled

5.To test the trap, if required: racadm testtrap -i [index]

where [index] is the trap destination index to test.
