Events are displayed in the following format:
• Event number — The index number of the event in the circular buffer
• Event ID — A unique ID assigned to the event
• Time — Time of event, in switch up-time in hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds
• Category — Whether this event is critical, major, minor, or informational
• Object — The object affected by the event (port, LEC, and so on)

Event messages can be automatically displayed on the SmartSwitch 9A100 console. Use the set EventDisplay
command to display events on the console as they occur:
SmartSwitch # set eventdisplay
EventDisplay(OFF) : on
SmartSwitch #
Note Depending on the activity of your SmartSwitch 9A100, the appearance of events
may be too frequent to use the console comfortably. It is recommended that you
turn on the automatic display of events only when troubleshooting.
