Configuring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using RACADM

To configure IP alert destination 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. You can skip step 2 if you have already selected the filter mask.
  2. Enable alert generation: 
    racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1
  3. 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).
  4. 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 3.
  5. 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 2–5.

    • NOTE: The commands in steps 2–5 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.
  6. 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>
