A device (26) adapted for communication over a network (24) includes a cause register (34), having event entries corresponding respectively to different types of events encountered by the device. Event servicing circuitry (36) is adapted to set one or more of the entries responsive to occurrence of one or more of the events of the corresponding types, and to send a management packet over the network to a management entity (38), notifying the management entity of the entries in the cause register. The entries in the cause register are cleared only upon receiving an assurance that the management entity has been notified thereof, thereby ensuring that the events are serviced. |
