Configuring the Trap Table

traps with a severity level equal to or greater than this severity setting will be forwarded to the associated management workstation. Each trap is assigned one of four severity levels:

Informational	Indicates an informational event (no action generally
	required) or a small conÞguration error. This is a Level 4
	severity.
Minor	Indicates a minor fault or trafÞc disturbance;
	recommended action typically involves clearing the fault
	at the Þrst suitable occasion. This is a Level 3 severity.
Major	Indicates a major fault or link alarm; corrective action
	should be taken as soon as possible. This is a Level 2
	severity.
Critical	Indicates a serious fault or error that requires immediate
	action. This is a Level 1 severity.
