Severity Level

Description

1 Catastrophic

Reasonably common circumstances cause the entire system to fail, or a major subsystem to stop working, or other devices on the network to be disrupted. No workarounds exist.

2 Severe

Important functions are unusable and workarounds do not exist. Other functions and the rest of the network is operating normally.

Failures occur in unusual circumstances, or minor features do not work at all, or other failures occur but low-impact workarounds exist.

This is the highest level for documentation bugs.

4 Minor

Failures occur under very unusual circumstances, but operation essentially recovers without intervention. Users do not need to install any workarounds and performance impact is tolerable.

5 Cosmetic

Defects do not cause any detrimental effect on system functionality.

6 Enhancement
