Configuring email alerts from CiscoWorks LMS 4

[Colin Higgins]

I am looking for a way to get CiscoWorks LMS 4 to send me an email alert when a switch port goers into a security violation (err-disabled).

Is there a way to do this?

you could configure an automated action based on the syslog message you get on security violations;

for the configuration, have a look here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.0/user/guide/admin/useNotif.html#wp1075603

some syslog examples are:

%PM-SP-4-ERR_DISABLE: bpduguard error detected on Gi4/1, putting Gi4/1 in err-disable state

%PM-SP-4-ERR_DISABLE: udld error detected on Gi4/1, putting Gi4/1 in err-disable state.

%PM-4-ERR_DISABLE: link-flap error detected on Gi4/1, putting Gi4/1 in err-disable state

%PM-SW1-4-ERR_DISABLE: link-flap error detected on Te2/4/4, putting Te2/4/4 in err-disable state

That worked perfectly. Thanks Martin!
