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
nents."
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
Hardware Components."

Backup Power Supplies

Some OmniSwitch 6250 switches support an optional backup power supply. Backup power supplies oper-
ate in active standby mode. If the primary power supply fails unexpectedly, the backup power supply auto-
matically takes up the full power load without disrupting the switch.
