                  Alert ID: SwitchAccess_Alert
         Alerting Resource: CLUSTERSW-01
                 Subsystem: Switch-Health
           Indication Time: Tue Jun 07 05:41:01 2022
        Perceived Severity: Minor
            Probable Cause: Login_attempts_failed
               Description: Login failed to Ethernet switch "CLUSTERSW-01". Cannot collect tech-support logs.
        Corrective Actions: 1) To set up public SSH key authentication on the Ethernet switch,
                            run the "system switch ethernet log setup-password" command.
                            ONTAP(R) software requires one-time use of the Ethernet switch's administrative login                                      credentials
                            to set up the public SSH key for ONTAP access.
                            The administrative credentials will be discarded after the setup command is complete.
                            2) If public SSH key authentication is already configured, log in to the Ethernet switch
                            with administrative credentials from an SSH host or serial console to investigate the login                                failures.
                            3) To disable tech-support log collection, run the
                            "system switch ethernet log disable-collection"
                            command.
           Possible Effect: Ethernet switch tech-support logs are not available in AutoSupport(R) messages for                                          troubleshooting.
