Configuring a Notification Profile
A notification profile is a named list of all the notification types that can
be generated by a switch, and for each notification type, the action to
take (drop or send) when an event occurs.
To configure a notification profile:
1 Do one of the following:
 Open the WX Switch wizard, then select Notification Profile under
SNMP, located under Management Services in the organizer list of the
System and Administrative page. Select New Notification Profile.
 In the Organizer panel, select Management Services under a WX
switch, then select Notification Profile under SNMP. Select Config >
Edit.
2 In the Profile Name box, type the name of the notification profile. The
name can be 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters, with no spaces or tabs.
3 Click the checkbox next to each notification type you want to enable. To
enable all notification types, click the Enable checkbox at the top of the
list.
4 Click Finish to save the changes.
Configuring a Notification Target
A notification target is a remote device to which MSS sends SNMP
notifications. You can configure the MSS SNMP engine to send
confirmed notifications (informs) or unconfirmed notifications (traps). The
available options differ depending on the SNMP version and the type of
notification you specify.
To monitor a switch using 3WXM Services, you must configure 3WXM
Services to be one of the switch’s notification targets.
3WXM Services does not start listening for SNMP notifications from the
WX switches in the network plan until you save the network plan.
To configure a notification target:
1 Do one of the following:
 Open the WX Switch wizard, then select Notification Target under
SNMP, located under Management Services in the organizer list of the
System and Administrative page. Select New Notification Target.
