MAPS configuration tasks

3. Set global actions on the switch to none using use mapsConfig --actions none.

Setting the global actions to “none” allows you to test the configured thresholds before

enabling the actions. Refer to “MAPS actions” on page 27 for more details.

4. Monitor the switch using mapsDb --show or mapsDb --show all.

Refer to “Viewing the MAPS dashboard” on page 41 more details.

5. Fine-tune the rules used by the policy as necessary.

Refer to “Modifying a policy” on page 25 more details.

6. Set global actions on the switch to the allowed actions by using mapsConfig --actions and

specifying all of the actions that you want to allow on the switch.

Refer to “Enabling or disabling actions at a global level” on page 28 more details.

The following example enables MAPS, loads the policy named “dflt_aggressive_policy”, sets the

actions to none, and then sets approved actions.

switch:admin> mapsconfig --enablemaps

switch:admin> mapsconfig --fwconvert -policy dflt_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
