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.

1Access the Create Notification Profile wizard: a Select the Configuration tool bar option.

b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch. c Click the plus sign next to System.

d Select Management Services.

e In the Task List panel, select Notification Profile.

2In 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.

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.

1Access the Create Notification Target wizard: a Select the Configuration tool bar option.

b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch. c Click the plus sign next to System.

d Select Management Services.

e In the Task List panel, select Notification Target.
