How Do I Add and Delete Network Elements?
Step 3 Select an NE type.
Step 4 In the property sheet of the Control Panel, click Activate in the Service Status field.
Step 5 In Error Level, choose the error level for alarms on the selected NE to include in the Error Log (Critical,
Major, Minor, Informational, Debug, or Trace). Critical, major, minor, and informational errors are
logged to the database; trace and debug information is logged to a log file.
Caution Cisco MGM performance will degrade significantly if the trace or debug option is left on. All
operations will slow down and you may lose alarm and event notifications. Use trace or debug
only when troubleshooting with a customer support engineer.
