Configuring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using RACADM

To configure IP alert destination using RACADM:

Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.
- NOTE: Only one filter mask may be set for both SNMP and email alerting. You can skip step 2 if you have already selected the filter mask.

Enable alert generation:

racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1

Specify the events for which alerts must be generated:

racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingFilterMask <mask value>

where <mask value> is a hex value between 0x0 and 0xffffffff.

To obtain the mask value, use a scientific calculator in hex mode and add the second values of the individual masks (1, 2, 4, and so on) using the <OR> key.

For example, to enable trap alerts for Battery Probe Warning (0x2), Power Supply Failure (0x1000), and KVM failure (0x80000), key 2 <OR> 1000 <OR> 80000 and press the <=> key.

The resulting hex value is 81002, and the mask value for the RACADM command is 0x81002.

Table 1. Event Traps Filter Masks
Event	Filter Mask Value
Fan Probe Failure	0x1
Battery Probe Warning	0x2
Temperature Probe Warning	0x8
Temperature Probe Failure	0x10
Redundancy Degraded	0x40
Redundancy Lost	0x80
Power Supply Warning	0x800
Power Supply Failure	0x1000
Power Supply Absent	0x2000
Hardware Log Failure	0x4000
Hardware Log Warning	0x8000
Server Absent	0x10000
Server Failure	0x20000
KVM Absent	0x40000
KVM Failure	0x80000
IOM Absent	0x100000
IOM Failure	0x200000
Firmware Version Mismatch	0x400000
Chassis Power Threshold Error	0x1000000
SDCARD Absent	0x2000000
SDCARD Error	0x4000000
Chassis Group Error	0x8000000
Server Sleeve Absent	0x10000000
Fabric Mismatch	0x20000000

Enable traps alerts:
```
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsEnable 1 -i <index>
```
where <index> is a value between 1–4. CMC uses the index number to distinguish up to four configurable destinations for traps alerts. Destinations may be specified as appropriately formatted numeric addresses (IPv6 or IPv4), or Fully-Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs).
Specify a destination IP address to receive the traps alert:
```
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr <IP address> -i <index>
```
where <IP address> is a valid destination, and <index> is the index value specified in step 4.
Specify the community name:
```
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsCommunityName <community name> -i <index>
```
where <community name> is the SNMP community to which the chassis belongs, and <index> is the index value specified in steps 4 and 5.
- NOTE: CMC uses a default SNMP community string as public. To ensure higher security, it is recommended to change the default community string and set a value which is not blank.
You can configure up to four destinations to receive traps alerts. To add more destinations, repeat steps 2–6.
- NOTE: The commands in steps 2–6 overwrites any existing settings configured for the index specified (1–4). To determine whether an index has previously configured values, type: racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>. If the index is configured, values appear for the cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr and cfgTrapsCommunityName objects.
To test an event trap for an alert destination, type:
```
racadm testtrap -i <index>
```
where <index> is a value 1–4 representing the alert destination you want to test.
If you are not sure of the index number, use:
```
racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>
```
