X2 transceiver - CISCO-SUMITOMO - syslog message - SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION

Manuel Muetsch · ‎11-12-2012

Hi,

I have a problem with X2 transceivers from "CISCO-SUMITOMO".

The WS-C3560E-12D-S Catalyst Switch generates the following syslog message due to the fact that it cannot read out the operating voltage value:

%SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION: Te0/8: Voltage low alarm; Operating value: 0.00 V, Threshold value: 3.07 V.

The switch is running the follwing image:

c3560e-universalk9-mz.150-1.SE

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the global command "logging discriminator" is not supported in IOS version 15.0(1+2)SE it is not possible to filter the message.

After a lot of research and reading I can say that this is not a known open caveat:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750x_3560x/software/release/15.0_2_se/release/notes/OL25302.html#wp1025298

Do you have any suggestions how I can avoid those messages?

Replacement is not an alternative for me!

Thanks in advance.

Manuel

Further down you will see the characteristics of the X2 transceivers.

The Event Syslog Manager is working in IOS version 15.0(1+2)SE so I'am now using the following Tcl script to filter the syslog message.

if [string match "*SFF8472-5*" $::orig_msg] {

return ""

} else {

return $::orig_msg

}
