If not created already, create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the RestObject or RedfishObject class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/ ip address, iLO login username and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

:

Redfish Object creation:

REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

:

The method ex26_configure_snmp takes an instance of rest object ( or redfish object if using Redfish API ), snmp mode and alerts as arguments.

def ex26_configure_snmp(restobj, snmp_mode, snmp_alerts):

:

Find and get the system resource for snmp service.

instances = restobj.search_for_type("SnmpService.")

:

Prepare request body with the snmp mode and alerts parameters provided.

for instance in instances:
  body = {"Mode": snmp_mode, "AlertsEnabled": snmp_alerts}

:

Perform PATCH request and check response.

response = restobj.rest_patch(instance["href"], body)
restobj.error_handler(response)
