Configuring Alert Destinations

The management station uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to receive data from CMC.
You can configure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings.
Before configuring the email alert or SNMP trap settings, make sure that you have the Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege.

Configuring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations

You can configure the IPv6 or IPv4 addresses to receive the SNMP traps.
Configuring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using CMC Web Interface
To configure IPv4 or IPv6 alert destination settings using CMC Web interface:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Alerts → Trap Settings.
2. On the Chassis Event Alert Destinations page, type the following:
– In the Destination field, type 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).
