Catalyst C2960X Series - System Temperature Value

[John Katsoulas]

Hi everybody,

with the config command 'show environment temp status' you get to see a "System temperature from the Switch.

the question:

at which Point of the Switch is this temperature measured? is this the processor temperature? or the power supply temp? or the System air outlet temperature?

can anybody help with this very important for us question?

hier is the Output of the above command:

System Temperature Value: 35 Degree Celsius
System Temperature State: GREEN
Yellow Threshold : 58 Degree Celsius
Red Threshold    : 68 Degree Celsius

Hi,

That is not for the CPU or PSUs.  It is the overall system temperature.  Its how hot the box is running.

High Temperature Issues

The switch may experience an abnormal increase in temperature. This increase can be confirmed by the show environment temperature command.

For example:

Switch#show environment all
FAN is OK
TEMPERATURE is FAULTY
Temperature Value: 127 Degree Celsius
Temperature State: RED
Yellow Threshold : 55 Degree Celsius
Red Threshold    : 65 Degree Celsius
POWER is OK
RPS is NOT PRESENT

If the output shows red as the temperature state or the temperature value goes beyond the threshold value, then the recommended action is to prevent the switch from overheating. As a result, do not operate the switch in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 113° F (45° C).

thank you for the reply.

i am in fact trying to establish where is the sensor placed. inlet? outlet? Center of theSwitch or processor?

would you know this?

i am referring to the catalysts 2960X and there appear to be only one sensor although the mib from cisco show more
