Configuring Cisco IOS Agents
Enabling the CNS Event Agent
Note
You must enable the CNS event agent on the switch before you enable the CNS configuration agent.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable the CNS event agent on the switch:
To disable the CNS event agent, use the
no cns event
{
ip-address | hostname
} global configuration
command.
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
Command

Enable the event agent, and enter 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

gateway.)
•
(Optional) For
failover-time
seconds
, enter how long
the switch waits for the primary gateway route after
the route to the backup gateway is established.
•
(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
reconnect
time
, enter the maximum
time interval that the switch waits before trying to
reconnect to the event gateway.
