•
System Role
—A string of up to 64 characters that describes the server role or function.
•
System Role Detail
—A string of up to 512 characters that describes specific tasks that the server
might perform.
•
Read Community
—The configured SNMP read-only community string.
The following formats are supported:
◦ A community string (for example,
public
).
◦ A community string followed by an IP address or FQDN (for example,
public 192.168.0.1
).
Use this option to specify that SNMP access will be allowed from the specified IP address or
FQDN.
You can enter an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or an FQDN.
•
Trap Community
—The configured SNMP trap community string.
•
SNMP Alert Destination(s)
—The IP addresses or FQDNs of up to three remote management
systems that will receive SNMP alerts from iLO.
Typically, you enter the HPE SIM server console IP address in one of the
SNMP Alert Destination(s)
boxes.
When SNMP Alert Destinations are configured using FQDNs, and DNS provides both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses for the FQDNs, iLO sends traps to the address specified by the
iLO Client Applications
use IPv6 first
setting on the
IPv6
page. If
iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first
is enabled, traps
will be sent to IPv6 addresses (when available). When
iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first
is
disabled, 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
Access Settings
page.
To navigate to the
Access Settings
page, click the
SNMP Port
link. For more information, see
on page 229.
SNMPv3 authentication
The following SNMPv3 security features enable secure data collection from iLO 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 SNMP agent level (iLO) and the SNMP manager level (client system). Messages
exchanged between the SNMP 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.
