Restrictions for Power and Thermal Monitoring
The Power and Thermal Monitoring feature has the following restrictions and limitations:
- The power and thermal monitoring facility is enabled by default and you cannot disable it.
- The thermal thresholds are predefined and you cannot configure or modify them.
Information About Power and Thermal Monitoring
The power and thermal monitoring feature provides monitoring options for the thermal and power consumption of the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card. The power and thermal monitoring facility monitors the line card at several different points (See Thermal Monitoring) to see whether it is overheating or drawing too much power.
The monitoring facility triggers an alert when the operational thresholds are exceeded. Alerts are in the form of syslog messages, alarms, and SNMP traps. Syslog messages are generated when the temperature sensors cross their respective thermal threshold levels. Alarms and SNMP traps are generated only when the inlet sensors cross their thresholds. In addition to the alerts, the power consumption of the line card is checked periodically by the monitoring facility.
The following sections describe the Power and Thermal Monitoring feature in more detail:
Thermal Monitoring
The thermal monitoring facility uses temperature sensors, placed at several different points in the line card, to monitor the thermal threshold levels. Each temperature sensor is monitored against the thermal threshold levels that are specific to the sensor.
The table shows the sensors monitored and their corresponding thresholds.
Note | The thermal thresholds shown in the table are predefined and you cannot configure or modify them. |

The Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card thermal monitoring has three levels of monitoring thresholds: Minor, Major, and Critical. The table shows the thresholding states and their corresponding descriptions.
|
State |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Minor |
The temperature sensor moves to minor state when the sensor readings stay constant for 2 minutes between minor and major (>= minor and < major) thresholds. |
|
Major |
The temperature sensor moves to major state when the sensor readings stay constant for 2 minutes between major and critical (>= major and < critical) thresholds. |
|
Critical |
The temperature sensor moves to critical state when the sensor readings stay above the critical (>= critical) threshold. |
The temperature sensors are monitored every 2 minutes, with a soaking interval (A soaking interval defines how long a condition must persist before an alarm is declared.) of 2 minutes for minor and major events; there is no soaking interval for critical events.
The following alerts are generated on the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card:
- A syslog error message is generated when a thermal threshold is broken. The syslog error message contains sensor name, reading, threshold state, value, event timestamp, and card power level.
- Alarms and SNMP traps are generated when the inlet sensor crosses its threshold.
Note | A high availability (HA) switchover is not initiated for the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card when the temperature sensors cross the critical threshold. |
The temperature history of the router is maintained for an hour, with timestamp. It can be viewed using the show environment command. The show environment command displays the PRE temperature, fan status, power supply details, and the thermal and power status of the line card. The slot/subslot option of the show environment command helps to identify the location of the line card.
The thermal monitoring data is exclusive to the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card. When the line card is reset or removed, the outstanding temperature alarm is cleared. However, you can still view the temperature history of the line card that was maintained by the OBFL feature using the show logging onboard slotindex temperature command.
In the event of a line card crash, the temperature history of the line card is viewable from the crashinfo file. The crashinfo file contains the temperature history of the line card for the last one hour before the crash. The data is displayed using the show logging onboard command. See the Onboard Failure Logging feature guide for more details.
A PRE switchover does not impact the monitoring functionality of the line card. All the outstanding temperature threshold alarms are retained.
Power Monitoring
The following power monitoring options are implemented on the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card:
- The power consumption is monitored every 2 minutes.
- The power consumption history of the line card is maintained for an hour, with timestamp. You can view it using the show environment command.
The power consumption history of the line card is not maintained after an OIR; the history is erased and it cannot be retrieved. However, in case of a line card crash, the power consumption history of the line card is available from the crash log file for the last one hour before the crash. The syslog error message also captures the line card power consumption details at the time of the thermal threshold breach.
Alerts
The thermal and power monitoring feature triggers an alert when the operational thresholds are exceeded.
The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router uses the following types of alerts:
- Alarms
- SNMP Traps
- Syslog Messages
Alarms
The monitoring facility triggers an alarm when the inlet sensor of the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card breaches a predefined thermal threshold. The temperature status of the line card is maintained by the RP in Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. When the temperature varies, the line card passes the information to the RP to fire an alarm and SNMP trap. The RP clears the current outstanding temperature alarm and generates a new alarm. You can view these alarms using the show facility alarm status command.
SNMP Traps
SNMP traps are generated when the inlet temperature sensor of the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card has a status change among normal, minor, major or critical. You can view the SNMP traps through the SNMP manager. To disable SNMP traps, use the no form of the snmp-server enable traps envmon [temperature] command.
The following MIBs are used to generate SNMP traps when the line card crosses thermal thresholds:
- ciscoEnvMonTempStatusChangeNotif: This SNMP trap is generated when the inlet temperature status changes among normal, minor, major or critical.
- ciscoEnvMonTemperatureNotification: This SNMP trap is generated when the inlet temperature status changes from normal to minor, major or critical.
The following is a sample SNMP trap output from SNMP Manager:
Received SNMPv2c Trap: Community: public From: 10.11.0.17 mib_2.1.3.0 = 500023 internet.6.3.1.1.4.1.0 = ciscoEnvMonTempStatusChangeNotif ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusDescr.6 = Inlet SubSlot 6/1 ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue.6 = 70 ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState.6 = warning(2) Received SNMPv2c Trap: Community: public From: 10.11.0.17 mib_2.1.3.0 = 500023 internet.6.3.1.1.4.1.0 = ciscoEnvMonTemperatureNotification ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusDescr.6 = Inlet SubSlot 6/1 ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue.6 = 70 ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState.6 = warning(2)
Syslog Messages
Syslog error messages are generated when the temperature sensor of the Cisco UBR-MC20X20V cable interface line card crosses a thermal threshold. The syslog error message also contains the power consumption level of the line card during the time of thermal threshold crossover event.
The following is a sample syslog error message output:
SLOT 6/1: Apr 6 19:08:02.584: %CLCENVM-6-TEMPTHRESHOLDEXCEED: 6/1: CPU temperature MINOR limit (73 degC) exceeded at temperature 74 degC and power 172.217 watts SLOT 6/1: Apr 6 19:50:02.652: %CLCENVM-6-TEMPTHRESHOLDEXCEED: 6/1: Nickel 10G temperature MINOR limit (82 degC) exceeded at temperature 83 degC and power 172.897 watts SLOT 6/1: Apr 6 19:50:04.152: %CLCENVM-6-TEMPTHRESHOLDEXCEED: 6/1: Waxbill temperature MINOR limit (92 degC) exceeded at temperature 93 degC and power 172.897 watts SLOT 6/1: Apr 6 19:58:04.168: %CLCENVM-6-TEMPTHRESHOLDEXCEED: 6/1: Remora temperature MINOR limit (82 degC) exceeded at temperature 83 degC and power 172.217 watts SLOT 6/1: Apr 6 19:58:05.668: %CLCENVM-6-TEMPTHRESHOLDEXCEED: 6/1: Coldplay temperature MINOR limit (75 degC) exceeded at temperature 75 degC and power 172.217 watts SLOT 6/1: Apr 6 19:58:07.168: %CLCENVM-6-TEMPTHRESHOLDEXCEED: 6/1: Fauna temperature MINOR limit (82 degC) exceeded at temperature 83 degC and power 172.217 watts SLOT 6/1: Apr 6 19:58:08.668: %CLCENVM-6-TEMPTHRESHOLDEXCEED: 6/1: Flora temperature MINOR limit (80 degC) exceeded at temperature 81 degC and power 172.217 watts
