ONITORING AND TATISTICS
The Switch keeps an audit log of all management user sessions, providing
a record of a variety of changes, including ones relating to RMON. The
log can only be read by users at the security access level using an SNMP
Network Management application.
Each entry in the log contains information in the following order:
Entry number
■
Timestamp
■
User ID
■
Item ID (including qualifier)
■
New value of item
■
The last 16 operations are stored in the audit log. The oldest records are
overwritten first.
Your Switch allows you to receive email notification when certain RMON
events occur. You can receive notification via email, SMS (Short Message
Service), or pager, of the event that has occurred.
This feature uses an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) email client to
send the notification email. The Short Message Service (SMS) and pager
messages are constrained on message size so they are sent to a different
email address which creates the message to be displayed and then
forwards it on to the SMS or pager gateway.
You can configure the email address to which you wish the notifications
to be sent. However, you cannot change the factory default notification
messages for event emails.
RMON traps continue to be sent, in addition to any email notifications
you may receive.
The events that can generate email notification are:
Unit powers up.
■
Unit in the stack fails.
■
Fan in the unit fails.
