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.
• 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.
