Status Reporting Features
Using the HP Web Browser 
Interface
■High Sensitivity. This policy directs the switch to send all alerts to the 
Alert Log. This setting is most effective on networks that have none or 
few problems.
■Medium Sensitivity. This policy directs the switch to send alerts related 
to network problems to the Alert Log. If you want to be notified of 
problems which cause a noticeable slowdown on the network, use this 
setting.
■Low Sensitivity. This policy directs the switch to send only the most 
severe alerts to the Alert Log. This policy is most effective on a network 
that normally has a lot of problems and you want to be info rmed of only 
the most severe ones.
■Never.    Disables the Alert Log and transmission of alerts (traps) t o the 
management server (in cases where a network management tool such a s 
HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches is in use). Use this option when you 
don’t want to use the Alert Log.
The Fault Detection Window also contains three Change Control Buttons:
■Apply Changes. This button stores the settings you have selected for all 
future sessions with the web browser interface until you d ecide to change 
them.
■Clear Changes. This button removes your settings and returns the 
settings for the list box to the level it was at in the last saved detection-
setting session.
■Reset to Default Settings. This button reverts the policy setting to 
Medium Sensitivity for Log Network Problems.
