Events are classified by the following severity levels:
Table 2-1. Event Serverity Levels
Severity Level Description
Fault Describes events that may require assistance from your autho-
rized maintenance provider. Each fault event has a corresponding
alarm message.
Alarm Describes events that are disruptive to the administration or oper-
ation of a fabric and require administrator intervention. Alarms are
always logged and always displayed on the screen. Alarm thresh-
olds can be defined for certain port errors, allowing you to custom-
ize the point at which an alarm will be generated.
Critical Describes events that are generally disruptive to the administra-
tion or operation of the fabric, but require no action.
Warning Describes events that are generally not disruptive to the adminis-
tration or operation of the fabric, but are more important than the
informative level events.
Informative Describes routine events associated with a normal fabric.
