If SNMP is enabled on the HiPath Wireless Controller, alarm conditions will
trigger a trap in SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). An SNMP trap is
an event notification sent by the managed agent (a network device) to the
management system to identify the occurrence of conditions.
Note: The log statements Low water mark level was reached and Incoming
message dropped, because of the rate limiting mechanism indicate that
there is a burst of log messages coming to the event server and the processing
speed is slower than the incoming rate of log messages. These messages do not
indicate that the system is impaired in any way.
