Cisco 5508 Email Notification

[gdanner61]

I have 2 Cisco 5508 Wireless LAN Controllers.

They are NOT connected to a WCS.

Is there a way to confiure the 5508's to send email notifications when an AP drops off line?

Is not is this functionality available with either a WCS or new NCS?

Hi,

You can't send SMTP alerts directly from the controllers.

The options you have are

1. to configure a Syslog server under the Management tab of the controller to enable logging of alarms to the Syslog server. When the alarm arrives at the syslog server, there needs to be an event configured to email the particular alarm to SMTP recipients
2. Install WCS at version 7.x providing support for the 5508 controllers and 350x WAPs. Via WCS, with the controllers and WAPs managed by the application, the alarms will be emailed to the configured SMTP recipients

Hope this is of help

Regards

David
