Enabling or disabling rule actions at a global level
Allowable actions on a switch can be specified globally, and supersede any actions specified in
individual rules. Enabling and disabling actions at a global level allows you to configure rules with
stricter actions, such as port fencing, but disable the action globally until you can test the configured
thresholds. After validating the thresholds, you can enable an action (such as port decommissioning)
globally without having to change all of the rules.
ATTENTION
For MAPS to trigger an action, the action must be explicitly enabled using the mapsConfig --actions
command.
To enable or disable actions at a global level, complete the following steps.
1. Enter mapsConfig --show to display the actions that are currently allowed on the switch.
2. Enter mapsConfig --actions and specify all of the actions that you want to allow on the switch, for
example, mapsConfig --actions action1, action2, action3 ... (up to the complete set of actions).
NOTE
If you and changing the list of active actions, you need to specify all the actions to be active. For
example, if you are adding RASLog notifications to a switch that already has email notifications
enabled, you must specify both “email” and “RASLog” as actions in the mapsConfig command.
