Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 3.0 for Dell EMC PowerEdge VRTX User's Guide

Configuring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using RACADM

1. 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. If you have already selected the filter mask, do not perform task 2, and go to step 3.
2. Enable alert generation:

   racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1

3. Specify the events filters by running the racadm eventfilters set command.
   1. To clear all the available alert settings, run the following command: racadm eventfilters set -c cmc.alert.all -n none
   2. Configure using severity as a parameter. For example, all informational events in storage category are assigned poweroff as action, and email and SNMP as notifications: racadm eventfilters set -c cmc.alert.storage.info -n email,snmp
   3. Configure using subcategory as a parameter. For example, all configurations under the licensing subcategory in the audit category are assigned poweroff as action and all notifications are enabled: racadm eventfilters set -c cmc.alert.audit.lic -n all
   4. Configure using subcategory and severity as parameters. For example, all Information events under the licensing subcategory in the audit category are assigned poweroff as action and all notifications are disabled: racadm eventfilters set -c cmc.alert.audit.lic.info -n none
4. 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).
5. 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.
6. 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.

   You can configure up to four destinations to receive traps alerts. To add more destinations, do the tasks in 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.
7. To test an event trap for an alert destination, type:

   racadm testtrap -i <index>

   where <index> is a value between 1–4 representing the alert destination you want to test.

   If you are not sure about the index number, run the following command:

   racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>
