8.1.1 Switch Environment
Use the Environment screen to view and modify the switch diagnostic interval, temperature sensors and
fan speeds.
1. Select Diagnostics from the main tree menu.
2. Select the Environment tab.
3. The Environment tab has the following fields:
• Settings
• Temperature Sensors
•Fans
4. In the Settings field, select the Enable Diagnostics checkbox to enable/disable diagnostics and set
the monitoring interval. The monitoring interval is the interval the switch uses to update the information
displayed within the CPU, Memory, Disk, Processes and Other Resources tabs.
NOTE: When the switch’s configuration is successfully updated (using the Web UI), the
effected screen is closed without informing the user their change was successful.
However, if an error were to occur, the error displays within the effected screen’s Status
field and the screen remains displayed. In the case of file transfer operations, the transfer
screen remains open during the transfer operation and remains open upon completion
(with status displayed within the Status field).
NOTE: Enabling switch diagnostics is recommended, as the diagnostics facilities provide
detailed information on the physical performance of the switch and may provide
indicators in advance of actual problems. Enabling diagnostics also assists in the
troubleshooting problems associated with data transfers and the monitoring of network
traffic.
