5.5 Managing an Event Policy

Device Configuration
Event Policies enable an administrator to create specific notification mechanisms using one, some or all of the SNMP, syslog,
controller forwarding or E-mail notification options available to the controller. Each listed event can have customized
notification settings defined and saved as part of an event policy. Thus, policies can be configured and administrated in respect
to specific sets of client association, authentication/encryption and performance events. Once policies are defined, they can
be mapped to device profiles strategically as the likelihood of an event applies to particular devices. By default, no event policy
is enabled and one needs to be created and implemented.
When initially displayed, the
notification configurations modified as device profile requirements warrant.
To define an access point event policy:
1. Select Devices from the Configuration menu.
2. Select Event Policy.
3. Ensure the Activate Event Policy
selected to apply the event policy configuration to the access point profile.
4. Refer to the Select Event Module

5. Review each event and select (or deselect) the SNMP, Syslog, Forward to Controller or Email Notification option as required
for the event. Map an existing policy to a device profile as needed. Select Profile from the Map drop-down menu in the
lower-left hand side of the screen. Expand the list of device profiles available, and apply the event policy as required.
