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.
