| which identiÞes each instance of the rising alarm, and |
| one which identiÞes each instance of the falling alarm. |
For more information about the relationship between rising and falling alarms and the
TIP hysteresis function that controls the generation of alarm events, see How Rising and Falling Thresholds Work, page
Time | Indicates the date and time of each event occurrence. |
Description | Provides a detailed description of the condition which |
| triggered the alarm, including whether it was a Rising or |
| Falling alarm, the Value which triggered the alarm, and |

Each log will hold only a Þnite number of entries, which is determined by the resources available on the device; when the log is full, the oldest entries will be replaced by new ones.
Advanced Alarm Configuration
The Basic Alarm ConÞguration window provides a quick and easy way to set up some basic alarms for all of the interfaces installed in your SmartSwitch 7000 chassis. However, if you prefer more control over the parameters of the alarms you set (as well as their associated events and actions) and/or a wider array of choices for each variable, the Advanced Alarm feature provides a powerful and ßexible means for conÞguring alarms, events, and actions to suit your particular networking needs.
