Environmental Monitoring Overview

Environmental monitoring of chassis components provides early-warning indications of possible component failures, which ensures a safe and reliable system operation and avoids network interruptions. This section describes the monitoring of these critical system components, which allows you to identify and rapidly correct hardware-related problems in your system.

How to Determine Sensor Temperature Thresholds

The system sensors set off alarms based on different temperature threshold settings. Use the show environment alarm threshold command to display the sensor temperature thresholds:

 Information About LED Environmental Indications 
 
    
    
    
   
 The LEDs can indicate two alarm types: major and minor. Major alarms indicate a critical problem that could lead to the system being shut down. Minor alarms are for informational purposes only, giving you notice of a problem that could turn critical if corrective action is not taken. 
 
    
   
 When the system has an alarm (major or minor), that indicates an overtemperature condition, the alarm is not canceled nor is any action taken (such as module reset or shutdown) for 5 minutes. If the temperature falls 5°C (41°F) below the alarm threshold during this period, the alarm is canceled. 
 
    
    
   
 Table 14-1 lists the environmental indicators for the supervisor engine and switching modules. 
 
   
 
     
   
 
   
 
    
   
 Note See the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide for additional information on LEDs, including the supervisor engine SYSTEM LED.

 If there is a redundancy situation, the system switches to a redundant supervisor engine and the active supervisor engine shuts down.

 Note  
 
 •Temperature sensors monitor key supervisor engine components including daughter cards. 
 
 •A STATUS LED is located on the supervisor engine front panel and all module front panels. 
 
 •The STATUS LED is red on the failed supervisor engine. If there is no redundant supervisor, the SYSTEM LED is red also.
