Viewing Events

Events are triggered by an occurrence or the detection of certain conditions in the switch. For example, when the temperature of the device reaches warning levels, or when the fan speed changes, an event is triggered. You can view these details from the Events tab for individual switches, stacks and switch groups.

The alarms generate for the switch also reflect in the Events & Alarms > Events page.

  1. From the left pane, select Switches.
    The ICX Switches page appears.
  2. Select the switch or group. Then select the Events tab.
