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.

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.
