xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual System Severity Settings The System Severity Window allows users to configure where and when events occurring on the Switch will be recorded. These events are classified by the Switch into the following three 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. This is the lowest severity level. • 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. This level is regarded as a mid-level warning. • Critical - Events classified as critical are fatal exceptions occurring on the Switch, such as hardware failures or spoofing attacks. This level is regarded as the highest severity level. When an event occurs, the Switch classifies it into one of these three categories. If the severity of the event is higher than the level configured, the Switch will send a message to the SNMP trap, the Switch's log or both, depending on user configuration. If the event classified as lower than the configured severity level, the message is regarded as unimportant and will be discarded. To configure the system severity levels, open the following window by clicking Configuration > System Severity Settings in the main menu. Figure 6- 93. System Severity Settings and Table window The user may set the following parameters to configure the System Severity. Configurations will be displayed in the System Severity Table. Parameter System Severity Description Choose one of the following to identify where severity messages are to be sent. • trap - Selecting this parameter will instruct the Switch to send severity messages to a SNMP agent for analysis. • log - Selecting this parameter will instruct the Switch to send severity messages to the Switch's log for analysis. • all - Selecting this parameter will instruct the Switch to send severity messages to a SNMP agent and the Switch's log for analysis. Severity Level Choose one of the following to identify what type 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 and/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 and/or SNMP agent.

System Severity Settings
The
System Severity Window
allows users to configure where and when events occurring on the Switch will be recorded.
These events are classified by the Switch into the following three 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. This is the lowest severity level.
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. This level is regarded
as a mid-level warning.
Critical
– Events classified as critical are fatal exceptions occurring on the Switch, such as hardware failures or
spoofing attacks. This level is regarded as the highest severity level.
When an event occurs, the Switch classifies it into one of these three categories. If the severity of the event is higher than
the level configured, the Switch will send a message to the SNMP trap, the Switch’s log or both, depending on user
configuration. If the event classified as lower than the configured severity level, the message is regarded as unimportant
and will be discarded.
To configure the system severity levels, open the following window by clicking
Configuration > System Severity
Settings
in the main menu.
Figure 6- 93. System Severity Settings and Table window
The user may set the following parameters to configure the
System Severity
. Configurations will be displayed in the
System Severity Table
