RMON and the Switch
57
The Audit Log
The Switch keeps an audit log of all management user sessions, providing
a record of a variety of changes, including ones relating to RMON. The
log can only be read by users at the
security
access level using an SNMP
Network Management application.
Each entry in the log contains information in the following order:
Entry number
Timestamp
User ID
Item ID (including qualifier)
New value of item
The last 16 operations are stored in the audit log. The oldest records are
overwritten first.
Email Notification of
Events
Your Switch allows you to receive email notification when certain RMON
events occur. You can receive notification via email, SMS (Short Message
Service), or pager, of the event that has occurred.
This feature uses an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) email client to
send the notification email. The Short Message Service (SMS) and pager
messages are constrained on message size so they are sent to a different
email address which creates the message to be displayed and then
forwards it on to the SMS or pager gateway.
