config system_severity
Purpose To configure system_severity level of an alert required for log entry or trap
message.
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.
Parameters Choose one of the following to identify where severity messages are to be
sent.
•
trap – Entering this parameter will define which events occurring on
the Switch will be sent to a SNMP agent for analysis.
•
log – Entering this parameter will define which events occurring on the
Switch will be sent to the Switch’s log for analysis.
•
all – Entering this parameter will define which events occurring on the
Switch will be sent to a SNMP agent and the Switch’s log for analysis.
Choose one of the following to identify what level of severity warnings are to
be sent to the destination entered above.
critical – Entering this parameter along with the proper destination, stated
above, will instruct the Switch to send only critical events to the
Switch’s log or SNMP agent.
warning – Entering this parameter along with the proper destination, stated
above, will instruct the Switch to send critical and warning events to
the Switch’s log or SNMP agent.
information – Entering this parameter along with the proper destination,
stated above, will instruct the switch to send informational, warning
and critical events to the Switch’s log or SNMP agent.
