Log Link State Event

This setting is used to enable/disable the logging of link state changes. If enabled, a link-up change event or a link-down change event generates a message that is displayed in the system event logger. This message contains the link’s speed and duplex. Administrators view the event message from the system event log.

The following events are logged:

• The link is up.

• The link is down.

• Mismatch in duplex.

• Spanning Tree Protocol detected.

To change this setting in Intel® PROSet:

This setting is found on the Advanced tab of the device’s Device Manager property sheet or in the Adapter Settings panel in the Intel® PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility (Intel® PROSet ACU).

To change this setting in Windows PowerShell*, use the Set-IntelNetAdapterSetting cmdlet. For example:

Set-IntelNetAdapterSetting -Name "<adapter_name>" -DisplayName "Log Link
State Event" -DisplayValue "Enabled"

Possible values for this setting are:
