Managing Events
This chapter describes how to use the command-line interface to set and display
event priority levels that occur on an Avaya M770 ATM Switch. For information
about how to access and use the Avaya M770 ATM Switch command-line interface,
see Chapter 3, "How to Use the Command-line Interface".

Assigning an Event Priority Level

All events in the Avaya M770 ATM Switch are assigned a priority level between 1
and 16, in order of severity. Examples of priority levels:
• Priority 1 is assigned to low priority events, such as setting up a Telnet
connection.
• Priority 8 is assigned to informational events such as LANE services.
• Priority 15 is assigned to fatal events that do not cause the M770 ATM Switch to
reboot.
• Priority 16 is assigned to fatal events that cause the M770 ATM Switch to reboot.
Note: The event log is a temporary file, and will not be saved when the M770 ATM
Switch is restarted.

assigned a priority level, all events assigned with this priority or higher that occur
will be logged in the event log file.
