Custom automatic remote monitoring for network devices
First Claim
1. A network device comprising:
- at least one port configured to exchange packets of data with one or more networks;
a rule storing circuit configured to store a plurality of event classification rules, wherein;
each of the event classification rules describes at least one event characteristic for an event in the network device,at least one of the event classification rules includes a change in state of the at least one port of the network device, andthe change in state of the at least one port is generated by a change in spanning tree mode;
an event classifier configured to identify events having the at least one event characteristic described by any of the event classification rules; and
a plurality of event counters, wherein each of the event counters is configured to count the events identified by the event classifier for a respective one of the event classification rules.

Abstract
A network device including a port configured to exchange packets of data with one or more networks. The network device further includes a rule storing circuit is configured to store a plurality of event classification rules. Each of the event classification rules describes at least one event characteristic for an event in the network device. At least one of the event classification rules includes a change in state of the at least one port of the network device. The change in state of the at least one port is generated by a change in spanning tree mode. The network device further includes an event classifier is configured to identify events having the at least one event characteristic described by any of the event classification rules, and a plurality of event counters configured to count the events identified by the event classifier for a respective one of the event classification rules.
