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 also does a “heartbeat” check, by default every
