Environment monitoring
The Environment class provides information about the internal temperature of the switch. You can
configure the Environment class using the sysMonitor command.
Environment class area
Environment class area TABLE 23
Area Description
Temperature Refers to the ambient temperature inside the switch, in degrees Celsius. Temperature sensors
monitor the switch in case the temperature rises to levels at which damage to the switch might
occur.
NOTE
Event Manager (EM) now manages fan monitoring; the switch status is calculated based on fan status
reported by EM. You can use the fanShow command to view the fan status.
Environment monitoring setting guidelines
Use Environment Class default settings. Temperature settings are switch-dependent and there is no
need to alter them. The default alarm configuration, sending alerts to the error log and SNMP, is
sufficient.
Environment class default settings
Check the appropriate hardware reference manual for differences in actual environmental requirements.
The temperature sensors monitor the switch temperature in Celsius.
