Example: To view the remote alert configuration, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type
                  alertcfg
               
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 management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type
                  alertcfg -dr 3.5 -si enabled -rl 7
               

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

               system:mm[1]> alertcfg
-dr 2.0
-si disabled
-rl 6
system:mm[1]> alertcfg -dr 3.5 -si enabled -rl 7
