Cisco Systems C2960XSTACK What to Do Next, configure terminal, reconnect-time time backup, Step

Configuring Cisco IOS Configuration Engine

Enabling the CNS Event Agent

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	configure terminal	Enters the global configuration mode.
	Example:
	Switch# configure terminal

Step 2 cns event {hostname ip-address}[port-number] [ [keepalive seconds retry-count][failover-timeseconds ]

[reconnect-time time] backup]

Example:

Switch(config)# cns event 10.180.1.27 keepalive 120 10

Step 3 end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Enables the event agent, and enters the gateway parameters.

•For {hostname ip-address}, enter either the hostname or the IP address of the event gateway.

•(Optional) For port number, enter the port number for the event gateway. The default port number is 11011.

•(Optional) For keepalive seconds, enter how often the switch sends keepalive messages. For retry-count, enter the number of unanswered keepalive messages that the switch sends before the connection is terminated. The default for each is 0.

•(Optional) For failover-timeseconds, enter how long the switch waits for the primary gateway route after the route to the backup gateway is established.

•(Optional) For reconnect-timetime, enter the maximum time interval that the switch waits before trying to reconnect to the event gateway.

•(Optional) Enter backup to show that this is the backup gateway. (If omitted, this is the primary gateway.)

Note Though visible in the command-line help string, the encrypt and the clock-timeouttime keywords are not supported.

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

This example shows how to enable the CNS event agent, set the IP address gateway to 10.180.1.27, set 120 seconds as the keepalive interval, and set 10 as the retry count.

Switch(config)# cns event 10.180.1.27 keepalive 120 10

What to Do Next

To verify information about the event agent, use the show cns event connections command in privileged EXEC mode.

To disable the CNS event agent, use the no cns event { ip-address hostname } global configuration command.
