Status Reporting Features

To provide the most information on network problems in the Alert Log, the
recommended sensitivity level for

Log Network Problems is High Sensitivity. The

Fault Detection settings are:

High Sensitivity.

This policy directs the switch to send all alerts to the

Alert Log. This setting is most effective on networks that have none or
few problems.

Medium Sensitivity.

This policy directs the switch to send alerts related

to network problems to the Alert Log. If you want to be notified of
problems which cause a noticeable slowdown on the network, use this
setting.

Low Sensitivity.

This policy directs the switch to send only the most

severe alerts to the Alert Log. This policy is most effective on a network
where there are normally a lot of problems and you want to be informed
of only the most severe ones.

Never.

Disables the Alert Log and transmission of alerts (traps) to the

management server (in cases where a network management tool such as
ProCurve Manager is in use). Use this option when you don’t want to use
the Alert Log.

The Fault Detection Window also contains three Change Control Buttons:

Apply Changes.

This button stores the settings you have selected for all

future sessions with the web browser interface until you decide to change
them.

Clear Changes.

This button removes your settings and returns the

settings for the list box to the level it was at in the last saved detection-
setting session.

Reset to Default Settings.

This button reverts the policy setting to

Medium Sensitivity for Log Network Problems.
