Configuring EMC E-mail Home Delayed Traps
Configuring EMC E-mail Home Delayed Traps
Fabric Manager can be configured to generate EMC E-mail Home XML e-mail messages. In SAN-OS Release
3.x or earlier, Fabric Manager listens to interface traps and generates EMC E-mail Home e-mail messages.
Link traps are generated when an interface goes to down from up or vice versa. For example, if there is a
scheduled server reboot, the link goes down and Fabric Manager generates an e-mail notification.
Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3a) provides the ability to generate a delayed trap so that the number of
generated e-mail messages is reduced. This method filters server reboots and avoids generating
unnecessary EMC E-mail Home e-mail messages. In NX-OS Release 4.1(3a), users have the ability to
select the current existing feature or this new delayed trap feature.
Configuring Delayed Traps Using Cisco Fabric Manager
The server.callhome.delayedtrap.enable property is added to section 9 Call Home in the server.properties
configuration file. The property file can enable the Fabric Manager server to use delayed traps instead
of regular linkDown traps for EMC E-mail Home messages. To enable this feature, you need to turn on
delayed traps at switch level, and then set the server.callhome.delayedtrap.enable property in the
server.properties configuration file to true. By default, the server.callhome.delayedtrap.enable option is
disabled and regular linkDown traps are used.
To enable delayed traps on switches running NX-OS Release 4.1(3a) and later using Fabric Manager,
follow these steps:
Step 1 In the Physical Attributes, expand Switches > Events, and select SNMP Traps.
In the table above the map layout in Fabric Manager, click the Delayed Traps tab.
