Conguring CMC To Send Alerts
You can set alerts and actions for certain events that occur on the managed system. An event occurs when the status of a system
component is greater than the pre-dened condition. If an event matches an event lter and you have congured this lter to
generate an alert (email alert or SNMP trap), then an alert is sent to one or more congured destinations.
To congure CMC to send alerts:
1. Enable the global chassis event alerts.
2. Optionally, you can select the events for which alerts must be generated.
3. Congure the email alert or SNMP trap settings.
4. Enable Enhanced Chassis Logging.

Conguring Alert Destinations
The management station uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to receive data from CMC.
You can congure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings.
Before conguring the email alert or SNMP trap settings, make sure that you have Chassis Conguration Administrator privilege.
