Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

Count

- The Count column contains a repetition count for the event. If events which are

identical occur regularly, they might otherwise flood the log with useless entries.
Instead of recording each repeated event in detail, the log simply keeps the time of the
latest event and a count of the number of repetitions of the repeated event. Log entries
are retained on restart and reloads of the Ethernet Interface.

Entry

- The Entry columns contain detailed information about the event and is

subdivided into 6 entries, Entry 1 - Entry 6.
