determine if the Enterprise Manager should be notified. These changes can be changes
in device status, such as fan failure or overheating, or configuration changes made on
the switch through the ExtremeWare CLI or ExtremeWare Vista.
The ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager does a “heartbeat” check, by default every five

The ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager also provides you with the ability to explicitly
gather device status at any time using the Sync feature in the Inventory Manager
applet.
