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) (0|1)
    • For IPv6 address: 
      racadm config -g cfgIpmiPetIpv6 -o cfgIpmiPetIpv6AlertEnable -i (index) (0|1)
      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.
