If the temperature of a management module, switch fabric module, or one interface module
exceeds the high threshold specified for a fan speed, the fan changes to the next higher speed.
If the temperature of any of the modules exceeds the high threshold for the high speed, the
router shuts down the modules to prevent damage. The router also sends a warning message
to the system log and an SNMP trap. For information about viewing the warning messages,
refer to "Displaying temperature warnings"
The frequency with which the temperature is checked is determined by the setting of the
temp-poll-period command. For information about temp-poll-period command, refer to
"Changing the temperature polling interval"
If the temperature of a management module, switch fabric module, and interface modules
falls below the low threshold for a fan speed, the fan changes to the next lower speed. If the
temperature of all modules falls below the high threshold for the low speed, the fan operates
at the low speed.
