Diagnostics
12
The monitoring of the system and error diagnostics are handled in different ways:
● Events and faults handling:
Predefined events generate a message. These messages can be distributed in different
ways:
– Entry in the local log
– Transfer to the Syslog server
– Sending as e-mail
– Sending as SNMP trap
● Syslog:
Configures the transfer to the Syslog server
● Remote Monitoring (RMON):
Variables of the Management Information Base are monitored for the violation of limit values
and messages are generated if they do. These messages are collected and can be
distributed in the following ways:
– Entry in the local log
– Sending as SNMP trap
– Transfer to the Syslog server
– Transfer to a network management station using SNMP
● Port mirroring:
Mirroring of ports to analyze the data stream without disturbing operation
● Loop detection:
Detection and elimination of damaging loops. Loops in the network can cause total failure
of the transfer and must be detected and eliminated.
