Conguring CMC to send alerts
You can set alerts and actions for certain events that occur on the chassis. An event occurs when the status of a system component is
greater than the pre-dened condition. If an event matches an event lter and you have congured this lter to generate an alert message
(email alert or SNMP trap), then an alert is sent to one or more congured destinations such as email address, IP address, or an external
server.
To congure CMC to send alerts:
1 Enable the Chassis Event Alerts option.
2 Optionally, lter the alerts based on category or severity.
3 Congure the email alert or SNMP trap settings.
4 Enable chassis event alerts to send an e-mail alert, or SNMP traps to congured destinations.
