Hardware Monitoring
Automatic Monitoring
Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. If an
error is detected (e.g., over-threshold temperature), the switch immediately sends a trap to the user. The
trap is displayed on the console in the form of a text error message.
LEDs
LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the chassis front panel. LEDs are used to
indicate conditions such as hardware and software status, temperature errors, link integrity, data flow, etc.
For detailed LED descriptions, refer to Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6250 Series Chassis and Hardware
Components.”
User-Driven Monitoring
User-driven hardware monitoring refers to CLI commands that are entered by the user in order to access
the current status of hardware components. The user enters “show” commands that output information to
the console. Monitoring information for chassis components, such as the optional back up power supply,
chassis temperature sensor, and chassis fans is provided in Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6250 Series Chassis
and Hardware Components.” The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Backup Power Supplies
Some OmniSwitch 6250 Series switches support an optional backup power supply. Backup power
supplies operate in active standby mode. If the primary power supply fails unexpectedly, the backup
power supply automatically takes up the full power load without disrupting the switch.
Note. For more information on power supplies, refer to Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6250 Series Chassis and
Hardware Components.”
