This screen lists the entries in the trap log. The information can be retrieved as a file by using System Utilities, Upload File from Switch.

Non-Configurable Data

• System Up Time - The time at which this trap occurred, expressed in days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last reboot of the switch.
