Configure SNMP Protocol Settings on Oracle ILOM SP

1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM SP web interface as root (default password: changeme).
2. Navigate to the SNMP page to enable SNMP management:

   • For Oracle ILOM 2.x and 3.0.x firmware, click System Management Access > SNMP.

   • For Oracle ILOM 3.1.x and 3.2.x firmware, click ILOM Administration > Management Access > SNMP.

3. In the SNMP page, enable the SNMP state check box and configure the SNMP port number, then click Save.

   ---

   Note -  For security performance reasons, the protocol property for SNMPv3 should be enabled. Later Oracle ILOM firmware versions provide support for SNMPv3 monitoring. If the SP is running a firmware version that does not support SNMPv3, you should update the Oracle ILOM firmware on the SP to the latest version available from My Oracle Support.

4. Navigate to the Alert Management page to configure trap alert notifications.

   • For Oracle ILOM 2.x and 3.0.x firmware, click Configuration > Alert Management. The Alert Management page opens.

   • For Oracle ILOM 3.1.x and 3.2.x firmware, click ILOM Administration > Notifications > Alerts.

7. Set the following properties.

   Properties Value Level Minor (to view the maximum number of traps at all severity levels) Type SNMP Trap (for the SUN-HW-TRAP-MIB) IP Address IP_address_of_destination_server

   ---

   Note -  Although Oracle ILOM 2.0 continues to support the SUN-ILOM-PET-EVENTS-MIB, you should configure your service processors with the latest Oracle ILOM firmware to use the more robust SUN-HW-TRAP-MIB.

8. To apply the changes, click Save.

   The Oracle ILOM SP is now configured to send SUN-HW-TRAP-MIB and SUN-ILOM-SYSTEM-MIB traps to all configured trap destinations.
