What role does the Avaya Aura System Manager play in fault management?

The Avaya Aura System Manager plays a crucial role in fault management by monitoring the health of the overall system and providing alerts for potential issues. This proactive monitoring helps ensure that system administrators are made aware of any malfunctions or irregularities as they arise, allowing them to take timely action to mitigate any potential downtime or service disruptions. The ability to receive alerts enables a more efficient and effective response to issues, contributing to maintaining system reliability and performance.

The other options reflect important functions in a network environment but do not pertain specifically to fault management. Configuring network settings is vital for establishing the network architecture, while handling customer service inquiries is necessary for end-user support. Additionally, providing software updates ensures that systems are equipped with the latest features and security enhancements. However, none of these functions directly relate to the monitoring and alerting functions that are fundamental to fault management in Avaya systems.
