The severity type of the enterprise-specific trap sent to the Network Management Station by the Dell managed device. The Severity level are defined as follows: Critical - service affecting event. Major - a major error which is not service affecting but does require immediate user attention to prevent further degredation of the system, which may lead to a critical error. For example, if a redundant port failure would be considered a major event whereas the failure of an unprotected port is a critical event. Minor - a minor event which is not service affecting and is unlikely to lead to a major or critical event. The user does not need to take immediate actions but some action is required to clear the event. Info - a notification to the user of some event that does not require any user action. For example, a security notification is useful information but does not require the user to take any specific immediate action. This event is not cleared. Clear - this special trap is sent to clear some previously sent trap. Note that if the sequence number sent with the clear event is 0 then the clear event is used to indicate that all outstanding event of this particular type on a given source (dellTrapSource) has been cleared. If the event sequence number (dellTrapSeqNum) is sent with a non-zero value, then the clear event is sent to clear only the specific trap instance designated by the sequence number in question.
