Configuring the Trap Table

traps with a severity level equal to or greater than this severity setting will be 
forwarded to the associated management workstation. Each trap is assigned one 
of four severity levels:

Informational

Indicates an informational event (no action generally 
required) or a small conÞguration error. This is a Level 4 
severity.

Minor

Indicates a minor fault or trafÞc disturbance; 
recommended action typically involves clearing the fault 
at the Þrst suitable occasion. This is a Level 3 severity.

Major

Indicates a major fault or link alarm; corrective action 
should be taken as soon as possible. This is a Level 2 
severity.

Critical

Indicates a serious fault or error that requires immediate 
action. This is a Level 1 severity.
