The following example enables MAPS, loads the policy “fw_aggressive_policy”,
sets the actions to “none”, and then sets approved actions.
switch:admin> mapsconfig --enablemaps -policy fw_aggressive_policy
WARNING:
This command enables MAPS and replaces all Fabric Watch configurations and
monitoring. Once MAPS is enabled, the Fabric Watch configuration can't be converted
to MAPS. If you wish to convert your Fabric Watch configuration into MAPS policies,
select NO to this prompt and first issue the "mapsconfig --fwconvert" command. Once
the Fabric Watch configuration is concerted into MAPS policies, you may reissue the
"mapsconfig --enablemaps" command to continue this process. If you do not use Fabric
Watch or need the configuration, then select YES to enable MAPS now.
Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes
...
MAPS is enabled.
switch:admin> mapsconfig --actions none
switch:admin> mapsconfig --actions raslog,fence,snmp,email,sw_marginal

Monitoring across different time windows
You can create rules that monitor across multiple time windows or time bases.
For example, if you want to monitor both for severe conditions and separately for non-critical but
persistent conditions, you would construct rules similar to the following.
1. Enter mapsRule --create severe_rule_name -monitor monitor_name -group group_name -
timebase time_base -op operator -value time -action action_1, action_2, …
2. Enter mapsRule --create persistent_rule_name -monitor monitor_name -group group_name -
timebase time_base -op operator -value time -action action_1, action_2, …
3. Enter mapsRule --show severe_rule_name to confirm the rule values.
4. Enter mapsRule --show persistent_rule_name to confirm the rule values.
