Fault Monitoring Profile

AOS-CX switches include automatic detection and control for certain link errors and excessive traffic conditions. Fault monitor can be used to log an event or send SNMP traps for these conditions and temporarily disable the port to protect the network. Monitoring can be enabled for all recognized faults or for individual faults, and actions and thresholds for each fault can be configured.

Fault monitor applies only to physical ports and not to LAGs, tunnels, VSF links, or other types of interfaces. Fault monitoring can be applied to the individual members of a LAG.
