Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable the CNS event agent on the switch:
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
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
cns event {hostname | ip-address} [port-number]
[backup] [failover-time seconds] [keepalive seconds
retry-count] [reconnect time] [source ip-address]
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

gateway.)
• (Optional) For failover-time seconds, enter how long
the switch waits for the primary gateway route after

• (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.
