Ports window will open.
3. Click on the name of a BMC port. The BMC Identity window will open.
4. Click Alert Forwarding in the side navigation bar. The Alert Forwarding Configuration
window will open. The display indicates the current settings in the BMC.
5. To disable alert forwarding for all sensors, enable the Disable Alert Forwarding for all sensors
radio button. Go to step 7.
6. To enable alert forwarding for one or more sensors:
a. Enable the Enable Alert Forwarding for the following selected sensor types radio button.
b. Click the checkbox next to the sensor types to be forwarded. To select all sensor types,
click the checkbox next to Sensor Type at the top of the list.

operation may overwrite existing entries in the BMC. By default, this feature is disabled -
the operation is non-destructive. However, if the BMC does not have sufficient internal

software will highlight this checkbox. Clicking
Force Configuration Changes will cause
the enable/disable action to occur, even if existing entries in the BMC are disrupted.
