Pass-through
Status
Enabled
This parameter enables the system to pass SNMP
packets from the Insight Management Agent. When set
to No, all SNMP traffic is stopped and will not pass-
through RILOE II.
SNMP Pass-through Status
When the SNMP Pass-through Status feature is enabled, RILOE II will accept SNMP packets from a
management station and pass them to the Insight Management Agents running on the server. The agents
on the server processes these SNMP packets and send the response back to RILOE II, which in turn
transmits these packets back to the management station. This helps the management station gather
information about the server even when the server network connection is not working.
When the SNMP Pass-through Status feature is disabled, RILOE II will not accept any SNMP packet from a
management station and thus will not forward these packets to the agents. So, the management software
can not get information or send commands to the agents running on the server if the server network
connection is not working.
Generating Test Alerts
Test alerts are generated through the Manage Alerts option in the Administration section. These
alerts include Systems Insight Manager SNMP traps and are used to verify the network connectivity of the
RILOE II in Systems Insight Manager.
To send out a test alert:

Click SNMP Settings on the Administration tab.
2.
Click Send Test Trap. If a trap destination is not provided, an error message displays.
3.
After generating the alert, a confirmation screen appears.
4.
If the alert system is working correctly, an alarm screen displays advising you that an alert has been
received.
Disabling Alerts
