Chapter 5
Managing the FastIron Stackable Chassis
This chapter contains information about refining the configuration of, monitoring, and managing the hardware
components listed in Table 5.1.
Managing FES Temperature Settings
This section describes how to display temperature settings on the FES chassis and how to change the
temperature warning and shutdown levels.
Using the Temperature Sensor on the FES
The FES chassis comes with a built-in temperature sensor. The temperature sensor causes 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 shut itself down.
The software reads the temperature sensor according to the chassis 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 shut down the device to prevent damage.
You can use the CLI or Web management interface to do the following:
•
Display the temperature of the device
•
Change the warning and shutdown temperature levels
•
Change the chassis poll time
