The IPMI item you need to con-
figure so the SNMP manager
can receive the SNMP trap
The alert LAN destination address (see #4
under 2.4.1) must be set to the same IP in
as the SNMP manager.
Can I query for detailed infor-
mation on the MIB "Event" trap
items?
Detailed queries are not possible because
event mapping is based only on sensor
type, event type, and sensor offset.

my platform
No standard list of event traps exist be-
cause the PEF (Platform Event Filter) table
is OEM customizable.
