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.

1Do one of the following:

„Open the WX Switch wizard, then select Notification Target under SNMP, located under Management Services in the organizer list of the System and Administrative page. Select New Notification Target.
