High Availability for Vcontroller and CPM
Make sure that you open and edit the existing Event Alarm
definition so
that you are notified by an SNMP trap, email alert, or both. You should
also make sure that all SNMP stations have been registered in the
appliances, as can be done in the System Configuration window SNMP
tab.
For more information on defining alarms, see the
Firebox Vclass User Guide
and
CPM User Guide
