Enabling the CNS Event Agent

Note You must enable the CNS event agent on the switch before you enable the CNS configuration agent.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable the CNS event agent on the switch:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
cns event {ip-address | hostname} [port-number]
[backup] [init-retry retry-count] [keepalive seconds
retry-count] [source ip-address]
Step 3 end
Step 4 show cns event connections
Step 5 show running-config
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
To disable the CNS event agent, use the no cns event {ip-address | hostname} global configuration
command.
This example shows how to enable the CNS event agent, set the IP address gateway to 10.180.1.27, set
120 seconds as the keepalive interval, and set 10 as the retry count.
Switch(config)# cns event 10.180.1.27 keepalive 120 10
