12 - 2 Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge
Overview
The Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge produces logs that record the occur-
rence of significant events occurring within your unit and on the infra-
structure. The type of events that are recorded as logs are:
n Information Logs: Records status changes that occur in the normal
operation of the system. For example, when an end node associates
to an Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge.
n Error Logs: Records errors that occur occasionally, but are easily
recovered from by the unit. For example, errors that occur during
the reception and transmission of packets to and from the unit.
n Severe Error Logs: Records errors which drastically affect the
operation of the system. The system will continue to run, but action
is required to return the unit to normal operating standards.
