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 test the trap, if required:
racadm testtrap -i [index]
where [index] is the trap destination index to test.
For more information, see the
support/manuals.
