Event Notification : Event Notifications Setup

Use this page to enable and configure notification of fatal, alert, warning, and information events to destinations external to the device, such as an SNMP server or a Syslog system.

Note For event notifications to be sent to an external destination, each event must be set to Notify on the Event Handling Setup page.

Settings

Should Notify-Disposition Events generate SNMP Traps?

Select yes to send event notifications to an SNMP server.

Note For notifications to be sent to an SNMP server, SNMP must be enabled on the SNMP Setup page, and you must set an SNMP trap destination and an SNMP trap community.

SNMP Trap Destination

Type the IP address or the host name of the server running the SNMP Management software. This setting also appears on the SNMP Setup page.

SNMP Trap Community

Type the SNMP community name. This setting also appears on the SNMP Setup page.

Should Notify-Disposition Events generate Syslog Messages?

Select yes to send event notifications to a Syslog server.

Should Syslog Messages use the Cisco EMBLEM Format?

When this setting is enabled, the access point generates EMBLEM (Baseline Manageability Specification) standard compliant system log messages:

ipaddress Counter: [yyyy mmm dd hh:mm:ss Timezone +/- hh:mm): %FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text

Example without timestamp:

192.168.12.83: %APBR-6-STA_ASSOC_OK: [AP350-12] Station
[TEST-LPT]000750abcd2a Associated

Example with timestamp:

192.168.85.2002 SEP 12 13:52:12 PST -08:00:
%APBR-6-STA_ASSOC_OK:
[AP350-12] Station [TEST-LPT] 000750abcd2a Associated

The timestamp is optional and included in the message only when the wall clock time is set on the access point. The facility code for all messages is APBR.

Syslog Destination Address

Type the IP address or the host name of the server running Syslog.

The Network Default Syslog Destination line under the syslog destination address field lists the syslog destination address provided by the DHCP or BOOTP server. This default syslog destination is only used if the syslog destination address field is blank.

Syslog Facility Number

Type the Syslog Facility number for the notifications. The default setting is 16, which corresponds to the Local0 facility code.

IEEE SNMP Traps Should Generate the Following Notification

This setting specifies how a client authentication, deauthentication, or disassociation failure is trapped and logged. For each event, you have 4 choices:

No Trap nor Event Log -- The event is neither trapped nor logged

Event Log Only -- The event is generated and sent to the event log only

IEEE Trap Only -- The event is trapped and sent to an SNMP community

Both IEEE Trap and Event Log -- The event is trapped and sent to the event log
