When troubleshooting the sources of alerts, it may be helpful to check the

 

switch’s Port Status and Port Counter windows and the Event Log in the

 

console interface.

 

By double clicking on Alert Entries, the web browser interface displays a

 

 

Detail View or separate window detailing information about the events. The

 

Detail View contains a description of the problem and a possible solution. It

 

also provides four management buttons:

Acknowledge Event – removes the New symbol from the log entry

Delete Event – removes the alert from the Alert Log

Cancel Button – closes the detail view with no change to the status of the alert and returns you to the Overview screen.

A sample Detail View describing an Excessive CRC/Alignment Error alert is shown here.
