SNMP Alert Destination(s)—The IP addresses or FQDNs of up to three remote management
systems that will receive SNMP alerts from iLO.

NOTE:

Typically, you enter the HP SIM server console IP address in one of the SNMP

Alert Destination(s) boxes.

When SNMP Alert Destinations are configured using FQDN, and DNS provides both
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for those FQDNs, iLO will send traps to the address specified
by the iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first setting on the network configuration IPv6
page. If iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first is selected, traps will be sent to IPv6 addresses
(when available). When iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first is not selected, traps will
be sent to IPv4 addresses (when available).

SNMP Port—The port used for SNMP communications. This value is read-only, but can
be modified on the Administration

→Access Settings page.

Click the SNMP Port link to navigate to the Administration

→Access Settings page. For

more information, see

“Configuring iLO access settings” (page 55)

Configuring SNMPv3 Users

iLO 4 1.20 or later supports SNMPv3 authentication when you use Agentless Management.

The following security features of SNMPv3 enable secure data collection from SNMP agents:

Message integrity prevents tampering during packet transmission.

Encryption prevents packet snooping.

Authentication ensures that packets are from a valid source.

By default, SNMPv3 supports the User-based Security Model. With this model, security parameters
are configured at both the agent level and the manager level. Messages exchanged between the
agent and the manager are subject to a data integrity check and data origin authentication.

iLO supports three user profiles in which you can set the SNMPv3 USM parameters.

To edit SNMPv3 user profiles:
1.

Navigate to the Administration

→Management page.

2.

Click the SNMP Settings tab and scroll to the SNMPv3 Users section, as shown in

Figure 49
