Configure SNMP Traps

note.gif NOTE: Some features documented in this online help may not be available on your system's remote access controller (RAC).

The remote access controller can generate several predefined events, or traps. Each trap contains a description of the event and an indication of the severity of the event.

This window enables you to create custom traps that are triggered if the RAC generates one or more of its predefined traps at a sufficient severity level. In other words, you can "map" several individual RAC events to one custom trap, specifying the severity that each event must attain to trigger the trap. You can also specify the destination IP address to which the RAC sends the custom trap.

Use this window to perform the following tasks:

System Tree Selection  Tab Subtab  User Privileges
     View Manage
Main System Chassis
Remote Access Controller Configuration SNMP U, P, A A

U=User; P=Power User; A=Administrator, NA=Not Applicable. For more details on user privilege levels, see "Privilege Levels in the Server Administrator GUI."
