Configuration | System | Events
Significant occurrences within or that could affect a VPN 3000 Concentrator are classified as
events. Typical events include alarms, traps, error conditions, network problems, task comple-
tions, breaches of threshold levels, and status changes. Events are stored in an event log in
nonvolatile memory. Events can also be sent to a backup server via FTP or to Syslog servers.
Events can be identified to trigger console messages, send e-mail messages, or send SNMP
system traps.
Event attributes include class and severity level, as follows:
• Event Class—Specifies the source of the event and refers to a specific hardware or
software subsystem within the VPN concentrator.
• Event Severity Level—Indicates how serious or significant the event is. Level 1 is the
most significant.
