System Severity Settings - D-Link xStack DES-3800 Series User Manual

xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch
NOTE: You cannot mirror a fast port onto a slower port. For example, if you try
to mirror the traffic from a 100 Mbps port onto a 10 Mbps port, this can cause
throughput problems. The port you are copying frames from should always
support an equal or lower speed than the port to which you are sending the
copies. Also, the target port for the mirroring cannot be a member of a trunk
group. Please note a target port and a source port cannot be the same port.

System Severity Settings menu to set the criteria for alerts. The current settings are displayed below
the Settings menu. In the Administration folder, click System Severity Settings, to view the window
