Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 2.10 for PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s User's Guide

• In the Destination field, enter a valid IP address. Use the quad-dot IPv4 format, standard IPv6 address notation, or FQDN. For example: 123.123.123.123 or 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 or dell.com.

  Choose a format that is consistent with the networking technology or infrastructure. The Test Trap functionality cannot detect incorrect choices based on the current network configuration (example, use of an IPv6 destination in an IPv4-only environment).

• In the Community String field, enter a valid community string to which the destination management station belongs.

  This community string differs from the community string on the Chassis > Network > Services page. The SNMP traps community string is the community that CMC uses for outbound traps destined to management stations. The community string on the Chassis > Network > Services page is the community string that management stations use to query the SNMP daemon on CMC.

  • 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.
• Under Enabled , select the check box corresponding to the destination IP to enable the IP address to receive the traps. You can specify up to four IP addresses.

The IP alert destinations are configured.
