Verify Chassis Installation

After installing the NCS 5500 Series Chassis, use the show commands to verify the installation and configuration. If any issue is detected, take corrective action before making further configurations.

Procedure

Step 1

show inventory

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP0 #show inventory
Displays information about the field replaceable units (FRUs), including product IDs, serial numbers, and version IDs.

Note

 

To know the fan tray serial number in case of NCS 5500 series fixed-port routers, you must check the label on the fan tray.

Step 2

show environment

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP0 #show environment
Displays all of the environment-related router information.

Step 3

show environment temperature

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP0 #show environment temperature
Displays temperature readings for card temperature sensors. Each system controller, route processor, line card, and fabric card has temperature sensors with three thresholds:

  • Minor temperature threshold-When a minor threshold is exceeded, a minor alarm occurs and the following actions occur for all four sensors:

    • Displays system messages

    • Sends SNMP notifications (if configured)

    • Log environmental alarm event that can be reviewed by running the show alarm command.

  • Major temperature threshold-When a major threshold is exceeded, a major alarm occurs and the following actions occur:

    • For sensors 1, 2, 3, and 4 (outlet, inlet, and onboard sensors), the following actions occur:

      • Displays system messages.

      • Sends SNMP notifications (if configured).

      • Logs environmental alarm event that can be reviewed by running the show alarm command.

      • If you do not have a standby route processor card in your router, you have up to 2 minutes to decrease the temperature. During this interval, the software monitors the temperature every 5 seconds and continuously sends system messages as configured.

  • Critical temperature threshold-When a critical threshold is exceeded, a critical alarm occurs and the following actions occur:

    • If the threshold is exceeded in a switching card, only that card is shut down.

    • If the threshold is exceeded in an active route processor card with HA-standby or standby present, only that route processor card is shut down and the standby route processor card takes over.

Note

 

We recommend that you install dual route processor cards. If you are using a router without dual route processor cards, Cisco recommends that you immediately replace the fan card if just one fan is not working.

Step 4

show environment power

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP0 #show environment power
Displays the power usage information for the entire router.

Step 5

show environment voltage

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP0 #show environment voltage
Displays the voltage for the entire router.

Step 6

show environment current

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP0 #show environment current
Displays the current environment status.

Step 7

show environment fan

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP0 #show environment fan
Displays the status of the fan trays.

Step 8

hw-module location loc shutdown or [no] hw-module shutdown location loc

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP0 #hw-module location <loc> shutdown
Powers up or shuts down a card gracefully.
