information]

Description

This command is used to configure the system severity levels on the

 

Switch. When an event occurs on the Switch, a message will be sent

 

to the SNMP agent (trap), the Switch’s log or both. Events occurring

 

on the Switch are separated into three main categories.

 

Information – Events classified as information are basic events

 

occurring on the Switch that are not deemed as problematic,

 

such as enabling or disabling various functions on the Switch.

 

Warning - Events classified as warning are problematic events

 

that are not critical to the overall function of the Switch but do

 

require attention, such as unsuccessful downloads or uploads

 

and failed logins.

 

Critical – Events classified as critical are fatal exceptions

 

occurring on the Switch, such as hardware failures or spoofing

 

attacks.
