Configuring Cisco IOS Agents
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 {hostname | ip-address} [port-number]
[backup] [failover-time seconds] [keepalive seconds
retry-count] [reconnect time] [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

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable the event agent, and enter the gateway parameters.
For {hostname | ip-address}, enter either the
•
hostname or the IP address of the event gateway.
(Optional) For port number, enter the port number for
•
the event gateway. The default port number is 11011.
• (Optional) Enter backup to show that this is the
backup gateway. (If omitted, this is the primary
gateway.)
(Optional) For failover-time seconds, enter how long
•
the switch waits for the primary gateway route after
the route to the backup gateway is established.
(Optional) For keepalive seconds, enter how often
•
the switch sends keepalive messages. For retry-count,
enter the number of unanswered keepalive messages
that the switch sends before the connection is
terminated. The default for each is 0.
(Optional) For reconnect time, enter the maximum
•
time interval that the switch waits before trying to
reconnect to the event gateway.
(Optional) For source ip-address, enter the source IP
•
address of this device.
Though visible in the command-line help string,
Note
the encrypt and the clock-timeout time keywords
are not supported.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify information about the event agent.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
