Note

Due to security concern of SNMP trap, SNMP trap receiver is disabled by default which means that Energy Manager can’t receive any SNMP trap by default. If you still want to have Energy Manager receive the SNMP trap, you may follow the steps below to enable it (using UDP port 1162 as the forwarding port here and you may use other unused port).

  • Windows OS

    • Add one registry String Value (Name: UserData, Value: 1162) at the location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\DatacenterManagerSnmp

    • Change the file user.config.xml in the conf folder of Energy Manager installation folder and remove the item: <entry key="SNMP_TRAP_LISTENING">False</entry>

    • Set “startup type” of the service “Lenovo(R) Energy Manager SNMP Dispatcher" to “Automatic” and start it

    • Restart the service “Lenovo(R) Energy Manager Server”

  • Linux OS (built-in SNMP trap daemon is not started)
