topic SNMP Configuration in HPE OneView

SNMP Configuration

Hey.

I'm implementing OneView right now and I've configured SNMP on the appliance. What I did not understand is how the SNMP traps works in OneView. Does it send traps directly to the targer that i configured or it configures the iLO to send SNMP traps to the targer server? Because after I configured SNMP, I don't see any alerts from OneView or iLO even if there is an active alert in OneView and iLO.

Thanks!

If you configured SNMP Trap Destinations in the Appliance Settings page, then any traps recieved from an iLO and/or OA will be forwarded. Any activity the appliance generates due to say an Asyncronous task, or server status refresh, will not generate an SNMP trap. SNMP traps generated from a management endpoint will only be forwarded when it is recieved by the appliance. If the iLO and/or OA has not generated another SNMP trap, the appliance will not forward one.
