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 front and rear panels. LEDs are used
to indicate conditions, such as hardware and software status, link integrity, data flow, etc. For detailed
LED descriptions, refer to the corresponding hardware component section in the next chapter.
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. The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI
Reference Guide.
