How to send an instant alert via LMS 4.2.4 when a new machine is connected

[Chaker BCHIR]

Hello,

I have LMS version 4.2.4 installed and I discovered my network. 

All is ok. Now I want that LMS send me notification by mail when a new (foreign) machine is conected to my network.

Is it possible and How to do it via GUI ?

Hi ,

the only way I can think of , is sechduling the device discovery (Inventory > Device Administration > Discovery > Schedule)

in that you will have an option to specify the email address. you will be notified by LMS whenever LMS discovery get completed with the deatils about the "newly added devices"

Thanks-

I think that you are looking for the Dynamic User Tracking function.  I am looking at the Admin user guide trying to figure out how to do this.  I enabled trap forwarding from fault management and now I am trying to determine what I need to do on the switches.  Appendix E describes "Commands to Enable MAC Notification Traps onDevices".  The manual states "The list of commands that needs to be run on the devices are stored on the built-in XML file namely, MACCommands.XML in a hierarchical manner."  Ok... huh?  Where is this file located?  How is it used?  I didn't find it in the template center.  I also did a search within the CSCOpx directory and I came up empty.

Has anyone been successful getting dynamic user tracking and mac notification working correctly?

Thanks,
