Alerts and SNMP Traps

Using ILOM, you can configure up to 15 alert rules. For each alert rule that you configure in ILOM, you must define three or more properties about the alert, depending on the type of alert. The alert type defines the message format and the method for sending and receiving an alert message. ILOM supports these three alert types: IPMI PET alerts, email notification alerts, or SNMP traps.

ILOM supports the generation of SNMP trap alerts to a user-specified IP address. All destinations that you specify must support the receipt of SNMP trap messages.

ILOM has a preinstalled SNMP agent that supports SNMP trap delivery to an SNMP management application.

To use this feature, you must do the following:

There are no trap destinations configured by default. By default, agents listen to port 161 for SNMP requests and agents send traps to port 162.
