60 Switch Feature Overview
SNMP Alarms and Trap Logs
The system logs events with severity codes and timestamps. The events are
sent as SNMP traps to a trap recipient list.
For information about configuring SNMP traps and alarms, see "Configuring
SNMP" on page323.
CDP Interoperability through ISDP
Industry Standard Discovery Protocol (ISDP) allows the Dell Networking
switch to interoperate with Cisco devices running the Cisco Discovery
Protocol (CDP). ISDP is a proprietary Layer 2 network protocol which inter-
operates with Cisco network equipment and is used to share information
between neighboring devices (router s, bridges, access servers, and switc hes).
For information about configuring ISDP settings, see "Discovering Network
Devices" on page761.
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
RMON is a standard Management Information Base (MIB) that defines
current and historical MAC-layer statistics and control objects, allowing real-
time information to be captured across the entire network.
For information about configuring managing RMON settings, see
"Monitoring Switch Traffic" on page407.
