3. Type the IP address of the SNMP manager in the Destination IP field.
This must be a numeric IP address. DNS names are not allowed.
Tip: Although you can specify SNMP destinations in this field, it is
highly recommended to specify the SNMP destination on the Event
Log Settings page only. See
Configuring the SNMP Traps
(on page
166) and
Suggestion for SNMP Trap Configuration
(on page 167).
4. Type the SNMP community string for this trap in the Community String
field.
5. Click
Add.
Note: SNMP alert traps are distinct from PX-specific traps. PX-specific
traps are used for event logging if SNMP is configured on the Event Log
Settings page.
For SNMP alert destinations, the Dominion PX sends IPMI-PET (platform
event traps) traps to the SNMP manager. The traps are generated in the
alert configuration and sent out in IPMI-specific formats containing raw
data.
Details of these traps can be referenced at:
