ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, an Ethernet switch includes a plurality of ports operable to receive and transmit Ethernet traffic. The Ethernet switch also includes system monitoring software operable to receive an indication from a user of a plurality of fault conditions for which generation of an alarm is desired. The system monitoring software is also operable to monitor the Ethernet switch for the plurality of fault conditions and generate a signal indicating a particular one of the plurality of fault conditions has occurred. The Ethernet switch further includes at least one relay responsive to the generated signal that is operable to turn on a respective alarm indicating a particular fault condition has occurred.
