Displaying management module CPU usage Removing MAC address entries Managing FES Temperature Settings This section describes how to display temperature settings on the FES chassis and how to change the temperature warning and shutdown levels. Using the Temperature Sensor on the FES The FES chassis comes with a built-in temperature sensor.
Page 58
Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the FES, FESX, and FWSX Displaying the Temperature on the FES By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current temperature. This poll rate is controlled by the chassis poll time, which also controls how often the software polls other system components.
The <value> can be 0 – 125. To change the shutdown temperature, enter a command such as the following at Privileged EXEC level of the CLI: FES Switch# temperature shutdown 57 Syntax: temperature shutdown <value> The <value> can be 0 – 125.
Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the FES, FESX, and FWSX Changing the Chassis Polling Interval The procedure for changing the chassis polling interval on the FESX and FWSX is the same as that on the FES device. See “Changing the Chassis Temperature Polling Interval” on page 5-3.
