5.12 Managing an Event Policy

Event Policies enable an administrator to create specific notification mechanisms using one, some or all of the SNMP,
syslog, controller forwarding or email 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, there's no enabled event policy and one needs to be created and implemented.
When initially displayed, the Event Policy screen lists the access point interfaces. Existing policies can have their event
notification configurations modified as device profile requirements warrant.
To define an access point event policy:
1. Select Devices
2. Select Event Policy.
3. Ensure the Activate Event Policy
remain selected to apply the event policy configuration to the access point profile.
4. Refer to the Select Event Module
module used to track the occurrence of each list event.
5. Review each event and select (or deselect) the SNMP, Syslog, Forward to Switch 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.
