Configuring 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
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.
