xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Manual 44 SYSTEM SEVERITY The System Severity commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the following table. Command config system_severity show system_severity Parameters [trap | log | all] [critical | warning | information] Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections. config system_severity Purpose Syntax Description Parameters Restrictions To configure severity level of an alert required for log entry or trap message. config system_severity [trap | log | all] [critical | warning | information] 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. 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. Only Administrator or Operator-level users can issue this command. 312
