Conguring CMC To Send Alerts
You can set alerts and actions for certain events that occur on the chassis. An event is generated when a device or service’s status
has changed or an error condition is detected. If an event matches an event lter and you have congured this lter to generate an
alert message (email alert or SNMP trap), then an alert is sent to one or more congured destinations such as email address, IP
address, or an external server.
To congure CMC to send alerts:
1. Enable the Chassis Event Alerts option.
2. Optionally, lter the alerts based on category or severity.
3. Congure the email alert or SNMP trap settings.
4. Enable chassis event alerts to send an e-mail alert, or SNMP traps to congured destinations.
Enabling Or Disabling Alerts
To send alerts to congured 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 congured to receive the alerts.
