Managing the device
Displaying the Syslog configuration and static and dynamic buffers
To display the Syslog parameters currently in effect on a device, enter the show logging command from any level of the CLI.
Brocade> show logging
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)
Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 7 messages logged
level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error
I=informational N=notification W=warning
...
Syntax: show logging
The following table describes the Syslog output buffer configuration information, in the rows above the log entries.
Slot num
Slot1 – Slot16
4-slot device: Slot1 – Slot4
8-slot device: Slot1 – Slot8
16-slot device: Slot1 – Slot16
32-slot device: Slot1 – Slot32
The slot num is the device slot number.
The priority of each device slot as configured by the lp-slot-priority command.
The priority can be 1 (low, default) – 8 (high). If the amount of power supplied to
the device falls below a minimum threshold, the device slots with the lowest
priority will likely lose power. For information about using the lp-slot-priority
command, refer to “Changing priority of slots for interface modules” on
page 237.
Fans
Fan number Information about fans in the device.
Status The fan status of a fan can be OK or Failed:
•
OK – The fan is functioning properly and is keeping the temperature of
each module within an acceptable range.
•
Failed – The fan is not working or the fan control module cannot control the
fan.
Speed Fan speed can be one of four settings:
•
Low – The fan is functioning at 50 percent of capacity.
•
Medium – The fan is functioning at 75 percent of capacity.
•
Medium-high – The fan is functioning at 90 percent of capacity.
•
High – The fan is functioning at 100 percent of capacity.
Temperature readings
Active and Standby Mgmt
Module
The temperature of the active and standby management modules.
Fan number The temperature of fan0 and fan1.
SNM number The temperature of the switch fabric module.
LP number The temperature of the interface module.
Temperature Monitoring Poll
Period
The interval at which the system reads the temperature sensor on the
management, switch fabric, interface, and fan control modules.
MAC address
Backplane EEPROM MAC
Address
The MAC address of the device.
