3.

Configure the Trap Source Identifier by selecting iLO Hostname or OS Hostname.

This setting determines the host name that is used in the SNMP-defined sysName variable
when iLO generates SNMP traps. The default setting is iLO Hostname.

NOTE:

The host name is an OS construct and does not remain persistent with the server

when the hard drives are moved to a new server platform. The iLO sysName, however, remains
persistent with the system board.

4.

Enable or disable the following alert types:

iLO SNMP Alerts—Alert conditions that iLO detects independently of the host operating
system can be sent to specified SNMP alert destinations, such as HP SIM.

Forward Insight Manager Agent SNMP Alerts—Alert conditions detected by the host
management agents can be forwarded to SNMP alert destinations through iLO. These
alerts are generated by the Insight Management Agents, which are available for each
supported operating system. Insight Management Agents must be installed on the host
server to receive these alerts.

Cold Start Trap Broadcast—Cold Start Trap is broadcast to a subnet broadcast address
if no valid trap destinations are configured.

The subnet broadcast address for an IPv4 host is obtained by performing a bitwise logical
OR

operation between the bit complement of the subnet mask and the host IP address.

For example, the host 192.168.1.1, which has the subnet mask 255.255.252.0, has
the broadcast address 192.168.1.1 | 0.0.3.255 = 192.168.3.255.

SNMPv1 Traps—When enabled, SNMPv1 traps are sent to the remote management
systems configured in the SNMP Alert Destination(s) boxes.

5.

Optional: Click Send Test Alert to generate a test alert and send it to the TCP/IP addresses in
the SNMP Alert Destination(s) boxes.

Test alerts include an Insight Management SNMP trap, and are used to verify the network
connectivity of iLO in HP SIM. Only users with the Configure iLO Settings privilege can send
test alerts.

After the alert is generated, a confirmation dialog box opens. Check the HP SIM console for
receipt of the alert.

6.

Click Apply to save the configuration.
