Switch temperature problem

[Debabrata Majhi]

hi,

Could you please help me on the below issue?

We have seen that sometimes few switch is reaching to waring thresold (58 Degree).My point is that can we confiure the thresold limit ?

Has the switch any internal protection to avoid overload on hardware side?

when it will reach to red thresold how the switch behave ? Switch will automaticaly shutdown or not?

No.

Once the switch temperature hits RED the switch will power down.

If the threshold was configurable I would avoid changing it.

My understanding is that Cisco does extensive testing to come up with these figures including literally cooking switches in special ovens to see how they react to different temperatures.

I suggest that you investigate why they are getting so hot.

My understanding is that the switch shuts itself down when it reaches red but I would not like to test that feature in a production environment with an older switch.
