RACADM Command to set snmpv3 Protocol

Jamieob,

 

Normally when you receive a "Not available" error, it is due to:

• Firmware version not supporting SNMPv3 (ensure you're up to date).
• The feature being disabled in your iDRAC license tier (Enterprise license is required for full SNMPv3 support).

What you can start with is enabling SNMP and set the SNMPv3 protocol, which you can do with the following commands

 

racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.AgentEnable 1
racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.ProtocolVersion 3

 

After that you would need to configure the SNMPv3 user, which you can see an example of below.

 

racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.Username snmpuser
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.AuthProtocol MD5
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.AuthPassword yourAuthPassword
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.PrivProtocol AES
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.PrivPassword yourPrivPassword
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.Enable 1

 

(AuthProtocol can be MD5 or SHA, and PrivProtocol can be AES or DES.)

 

Lastly, you would want to confirm it with the following

 

racadm get iDRAC.SNMP
racadm get iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1

 

 

Let me know if this helps.
