EMailing events and shunning in a PIX 515E

[dpatkins]

I have a Cisco 4235 IDS sensor and I am using VMS 2.2 to monitor traffic flow. I have almost got my alarms tweaked to where I would like them and now what I would like do is email alerts to myself and others using VMS. Can someone tell me how to set this up? Thank you.

I would also like to start using the shun option on the pix based on particular events. Is there a way to set it up? Also, can you specify the amount of time that it will shun? I am pretty new at this, so please "dummy up" instructions.

Thank you

Please refer to the below url for configuring the blocking. By default, the shun time is 30 minutes.

Forgot about the email notification.

In Security Monitor-->Admin-->System Configuration-->Email server configure the email server.

From the above link, configure the Event notification for alarm events and/or for the database rules for any notification that you would like for any database related events.

thanks,
