| Description | The type of event that generated this entry in the event log.
When the OUI is the IEEE 802.3 OUI of 0x0180C2, the following
event types are defined:
erroredSymbolEvent(1),
erroredFramePeriodEvent (2),
erroredFrameEvent(3),
erroredFrameSecondsEvent(4),
linkFault(256),
dyingGaspEvent(257),
criticalLinkEvent(258)
The first four are considered threshold crossing events as
they are generated when a metric exceeds a given value within
a specified window. The other three are not threshold
crossing events.
When the OUI is not 71874 (0x0180C2 in hex), then some other
organization has defined the event space. If event subtyping
is known to the implementation, it may be reflected here.
Otherwise, this value should return all Fs (2^32 - 1). |
