Figure 5-15. The Fault Detection Window
The Fault Detection screen contains a list box for setting fault detection and
response policy. You set the sensitivity level at which a network problem
should generate an alert and send it to the Alert Log.
To provide the most information on network problems in the Alert Log, the
recommended sensitivity level for
Log Network Problems
is
High Sensitivity
. The
Fault Detection settings are:
■
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 informed of only
the most severe ones.
