Table A-3 Severity Levels
Severity Description
emergency The RoamAbout Switch is unusable.
alert Action must be taken immediately.
critical You must resolve the critical conditions. If the conditions are not resolved, the RAS
can reboot or shut down.
error The RoamAbout Switch is missing data or is unable to form a connection.
warning A possible problem exists.
notice Events that potentially can cause system problems have occurred. These are
logged for diagnostic purposes. No action is required.
info Informational messages only. No problem exists.
debug Output from debugging.
Note: The debug level produces a lot of messages, many of which can appear to be
somewhat cryptic. Debug messages are used primarily by Enterasys Networks for
troubleshooting and are not intended for administrator use.
