Example: To view the remote alert configuration, while the Flex System Enterprise Chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
alertcfg -T mm[p]
To set the retry interval to 3.5 minutes, include service information in the alert, and set the remote alert retry limit to 7, while the Flex System Enterprise Chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
alertcfg -dr 3.5 -si enabled -rl 7 -T mm[p]

The following example shows the information that is returned from these commands:

system> alertcfg -T mm[p]
-dr 2.0
-si disabled
-rl 6
system> alertcfg -dr 3.5 -si enabled -rl 7 -T mm[p]
OK
system> alertcfg -T mm[p]
-dr 3.5
-si enabled
-rl 7
