IP Availability Manager generates an exception for a VLAN when it diagnoses one or more root-cause problems for the affected VLAN. For example, when IP Availability Manager diagnoses Port Down for a switch that is a member of the VLAN, IP Availability Manager also generates a ConnectivityException.
Likewise, when IP Availability Manager detects an event such as Port DownOrFlapping for a switch that is a member of the VLAN, IP Availability Manager generates an OperationalException.
