levels, and assign those priorities for port shut-down if exceeded.
PATH
Configuration, Thermal Protection
COMMAND USAGE
Thermal protection is used to protect the switch ASIC from overheating.
When the internal temperature of the switch exceeds a specified protection
level, ports can be turned off to decrease power consumption. Port shut
down can be prioritized based on assigned temperatures.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
Temperature settings for priority groups
◆ Priority – A priority assigned to a specific temperature. (Range: 0-3)
◆ Temperature – The temperature at which the ports with the
corresponding priority will be turned off. (Range: 0-255° C)
Port priorities
◆ Port – Port identifier.
◆ Priority – The priority level at which to shut down a port. (Range: 0-3)
