DES-3550 Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch
config system_severity
Purpose To configure severity level of an alert required for log entry or trap message.
Syntax config system_severity [trap | log | all] [critical | warning | information]
Description This command is used to configure the system severity levels on the Switch. When
an event occurs on the Switch, a message will be sent to the SNMP agent (trap), the
Switch’s log or both. Events occurring on the Switch are separated into three main
categories, these categories are NOT precisely the same as the parameters of the
same name (see below).
•
Information – Events classified as information are basic events occurring on
the Switch that are not deemed as problematic, such as enabling or disabling
various functions on the Switch.
•
Warning - Events classified as warning are problematic events that are not
critical to the overall function of the Switch but do require attention, such as
unsuccessful downloads or uploads and failed logins.
•
Critical – Events classified as critical are fatal exceptions occurring on the
Switch, such as hardware failures or spoofing attacks.
