Configuring 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-defined condition. If an event matches an event filter and you have
configured this filter to generate an alert (email alert or SNMP trap), then an alert is sent to one or more configured
destinations.
To configure 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.

Configure the email alert or SNMP trap settings.
