Description

The extent to which the network element is able to identify and handle error conditions is guided by organizational policy and operational requirements. However, it is imperative that the network element does not reveal information in log data that could risk the compromise of the device or the network. Hence, the structure and content of error messages needs to be carefully considered by the organization.
