Configure SNMP Trap Rule Destinations and Properties

Language:

Before You Begin

To create or edit alert rules in Oracle ILOM, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.
For you to define an SNMP v3 trap alert, the SNMPv3 user name must be defined in Oracle ILOM. If the SNMP v3 user name is not defined in Oracle ILOM, the SNMP v3 user receiving the SNMP alert will not be able to decode the SNMPv3 alert message. For more information about defining SNMPv3 authorization and SNMP v3 users in Oracle ILOM, see Managing SNMP Read and Write Access, User Accounts, and SNMP Trap Alerts (CLI).
Review CLI Commands for Managing Alert Rule Configurations.
For additional information about configuring alert management settings in Oracle ILOM, refer to Configuring Alert Notifications in Oracle ILOM Administrator’s Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 3.2.x.

To configure the destinations to which the SNMP traps are sent, follow these steps:

Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.

To display the current settings of the alert rule, type the show command.

For example:

-> show /SP/alertmgmt/rules/1
/SP/alertmgmt/rules/1
   Targets:
 
   Properties:
      type = snmptrap
      level = disable
      destination = 0.0.0.0
      destination_port = 0
      community_or_username = public
      snmp_version = 1
      testrule = (Cannot show property)
 
   Commands:
      cd 
      set
      show

Note - When you test an alert notification rule, Oracle ILOM will send a test from all configured SNMP traps. Oracle ILOM does not have the ability to filter SNMP traps by destination.

To show the /SP/alertmgmt/rules directory, type:
-> cd /SP/alertmgmt/rules

-> show

For example:
```
-> cd /SP/alertmgmt/rules
-> show
/SP/alertmgmt/rules 
  Targets:
    1
    2
    .
    .
    .
    15
  Properties:
 
  Commands:
      cd
      show
```
Choose a rule (from targets 1 through 15) for which you would like to configure a destination for SNMP traps, and go to that directory.

For example:

-> cd 4

To change the rule properties, within that rule directory, type the set command.
For example, to set a rule to send critical traps to a management client using SNMP v2c using a community name of “public”, enter:

-> set type=snmptrap level=critical destination=IPaddress_of_snmp_management_station destination_port=port snmp_version=2c community_or_username=public
