Managing FastIron WS temperature settings
This chapter provides instructions for managing the device.
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
This section describes how to display temperature settings on the device and how to change the
temperature warning and shutdown levels.
Using the temperature sensor on the device
The device comes with three built-in temperature sensors, located on the main board of the device.
The temperature sensors cause the device to generate a Syslog message and SNMP trap if the
temperature exceeds a specified warning level or shutdown level. If the device’s temperature
exceeds the safe threshold (shutdown level), the device will reboot.
The software reads the temperature sensors according to the device poll time, which is 60 seconds
by default. If the temperature equals or exceeds the shutdown temperature for five consecutive
polls of the temperature by the software, the software will reboot the device to prevent damage.
You can use the CLI or Web Management Interface to perform the following tasks:
•
Display the temperature of the device
•
Change the warning and shutdown temperature levels
•
Change the device poll time
Displaying the temperature on the FastIron WS
By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current
temperature. This poll rate is controlled by the device poll time, which also controls how often the
software polls other system components.
To display the temperature of a device, enter the following command at any level of the CLI.
