Appendix A - Troubleshooting
Specifying a severity level sends log messages for events or conditions at that level or higher
to the logging destination. The table below lists the severity levels and their descriptions.
Event Severity Levels
Severity
Description
emergency
The switch is unusable.
alert
Action must be taken immediately.
critical
You must resolve the critical conditions. If the
conditions are not resolved, the can reboot or
shut down.
error
The switch is missing data or is unable to form a
connection.
warning
A possible problem exists.
notice
Events that potentially can cause system
problems have occurred. These are logged for
diagnostic purposes. No action is required.
info
Informational messages only. No problem exists.
debug
Output from debugging.
Note.
The debug level produces a lot of
messages, many of which can appear to be
somewhat cryptic. Debug messages are used
primarily by D-Link for troubleshooting and are
not intended for administrator use.
