Configure SNMP Trap Rule Destinations and Properties

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 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 5.1 Administrator’s Guide.

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

1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.
2. 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
         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.

3. 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

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
