Monitoring the Cajun Switch (Layer 2 & Layer 3)

3.Use Table 16-6 to configure your switch event and shutdown log:

	Table 16-6.Event and Shutdown Logs
Log	Purpose
Event Log	A detailed, ongoing record of events that occur in the switch.
	This log is stored in memory and is erased if the system shuts
	down or reboots.
Shutdown Log	Contains a list of events that occurred before the last switch
	shutdown. Because it is stored in nonvolatile memory, this log
	is preserved during a switch reboot or shutdown. This list is
	designed to help you analyze the events that occurred
	immediately prior to a switch shutdown or reset.

4.Use Table 16-7 for a definition of the event classes:

Table 16-7. Event Table

Class	Determines whether or not the switch sends
	a notification...
Start	Upon system start.
System	For system events.
Configuration	For each configuration change (for example, enabling
	and disabling ports).
Temperature Status	Of temperature status changes. Temperature status
	message could precede a switch shutdown, and are often
	critical.
Resource	Upon a change in system resources.
Fan Status	Of fan status. Fan failures will eventually lead to
	overheating the system. Fan Status message provide a
	good early warning for a failure that could eventually
	cause the switch to shut down.
Service Port	Of Port status changes for service and user ports. Set a
Status/User Port	port as either service port/user port from the port
Status	configuration page. The purpose of this feature is to allow
	you to use different notification level for critical (service
	ports), if desired.
Authentication Failure	When the switch detects an authentication failure. This is
	a security-related feature used to detect unauthorized
	SNMP activity.
Bridge Status	Of changes in bridge status.
Switch Fabric	Of failures in the switch fabric. These are critical failures
	and should be monitored closely.
