Configuring CMC To Send Alerts
You can set alerts and actions for certain events that occur on the chassis. An event occurs when the status of a system
component is greater than the pre-defined condition. If an event matches an event filter and you have configured this
filter to generate an alert message (email alert or SNMP trap), then an alert is sent to one or more configured
destinations such as email address, IP address, or an external server.
To configure CMC to send alerts:
1. Enable the Chassis Event Alerts option.
2. Optionally, filter the alerts based on category or severity.
3. Configure the email alert or SNMP trap settings.
4. Enable chassis event alerts to send an e-mail alert, or SNMP traps to configured destinations.
Enabling Or Disabling Alerts
To send alerts to configured destinations, you must enable the global alerting option. This property overrides the
individual alert setting.
Make sure that the SNMP or email alert destinations are configured to receive the alerts.
Enabling Or Disabling Alerts Using CMC Web Interface
To enable or disable generating alerts:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Alerts.
2. On the Chassis Events page, under the Chassis Alert Enablement section, select the Enable Chassis Event Alerts
option to enable, or clear the option to disable the alert.
3. To save the settings, click Apply.
