Displaying temperature warnings
If the temperature of a module exceeds the high temperature threshold for any of the fan speeds, the system sends a warning message
to the system log and an SNMP trap. (For more information about the low and high temperature thresholds, refer to Changing
temperature thresholds for modules and fan speeds on page 207.) This section describes how to view the system log. If you have
configured your router to use a Syslog server or SNMP trap receiver, refer to the documentation for the server or receiver.
To display the system log, enter the show log command at any CLI level.
device# show log
Temperature log reduction
Depending on settings and temperature readings, fan speeds are changed dynamically within the following ranges: low, med, med-hi,
and high. Fan speed changes are determined by temperature thresholds set for sensors on the management modules, interface
modules and switch fabric modules. When a temperature threshold is passed upward on any module, the fan speed changes to the
assigned fan speed. This occurs even if the temperature is within the threshold for the slower fan speed on other modules. In previous
versions of the software, a log message is sent whenever a temperature threshold is crossed on any module whether the fan speed is
actually increased or not. This can result in excessive log messages.
The default behavior is a for log message to be sent only when the fan speed is actually changed, which reduces the number of
messages. A CLI option allows you to log all messages or have a single log message sent when any temperature threshold is crossed.
Details about how to set temperature thresholds and default threshold values are described in the Configuring the cooling system on
page 206
Configuring temperature logging
The temp log-threshold command sets the temperature logging threshold to send a single message whenever any of the thresholds are
crossed.
device(config) temp-log-threshold low
Syntax: temp log threshold [ verbose | high |low |med | med-high]
∙ The verbose option generates logs whenever a temperature threshold is crossed. This is the operational mode of previous
versions of Multi-Service IronWare software and provides backward compatibility.
∙ The high option generates logs only when the high threshold is crossed.
∙ The low option generates logs whenever any threshold (low, medium, medium-high or high) is crossed.
∙ The med option generates logs only when the medium, medium-high, and high thresholds are crossed.
∙ The med-high option generates logs only when the medium-high and high thresholds are crossed. This is the default setting.
This output displays two instances of a module temperature exceeding the warning threshold.
Managing interface modules
Configuring interface module boot parameters
Ethernet interface modules contain independent copies of system software and boot after the management module boots. By default,
the following boot-related events occur:
∙ The router synchronizes, or prompts you to synchronize, the software image on the interface modules with the software on the
management module.
