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

 

switch’s Port Status and Port Counter windows, or use the CLI or menu

 

interface to view the switch’s Event Log.

 

When you double click on an Alert Entry, the web browser interface displays

 

 

a separate window showing information about the event. This view includes

 

a description of the problem and a possible solution. It also provides three

 

management buttons:

■Acknowledge Event – removes the New symbol from the log entry

■Delete Event – removes the alert from the Alert Log

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

For example, figure 5-14shows a sample detail view describing an Excessive CRC/Alignment Error alert.
