System — Stack

Figure 5: System–Stack

This view is only present on switch stacks.

Box Graphic: Displays each stack member physically.

  • Used to view member information.

  • The switch outlined in orange is the currently selected member.

  • Data on the page reflects the selected member.

  • The Box Graphic can be flipped to show either the front or back of the switch.

Fans: Displays member fan status.

Status:

  • Green: The current system storage use is within normal range.

  • Yellow: The current system storage use exceeds the warning threshold of 70%.

  • Red: The current system storage use exceeds the critical threshold of 90%.

Storage: Displays system storage status.

Status:

  • Green: All fans are operating normally.

  • Yellow: One or more fans have failed but the number of failures does not exceed 50% of all system fans.

  • Red: At least 50% of the system fans have failed.

Temperature: Displays system temperature status.

Status:

  • Green: The current system temperature is within normal range.

  • Yellow: The current system temperature exceeds the warning threshold of <variable>. The threshold is based on a user-controlled setting on the switch.

  • Red: The current system temperature exceeds the critical threshold of <variable>. The threshold is based on a user-controlled setting on the switch.

Power Supplies: Displays system power supply status.

Status:

  • Green: All power supplies are operating normally.

  • Yellow: One or more power supplies have failed but the number of failures does not exceed 40% of all system power supplies.

  • Red: At least 40% of the system power supplies have failed.

Stack Details: Displays system information regarding the stack including stack topology/configuration and software version on all members.

Member Details: Displays status, MAC address, location and stack name.

CPU: Displays the current CPU usage of the selected stack member.

  • The outer ring of the gauge indicates regions of normal, warning, and critical values.

  • The peak value shown on the inner ring indicates the highest CPU usage reached for the device.

Status:

  • Green: CPU usage is within normal range.

  • Yellow: CPU usage exceeds the warning threshold of 75%.

  • Red: CPU usage exceeds the critical threshold of 90%.

Memory: Displays current memory usage of the selected stack member.

  • The outer ring of the gauge indicates regions of normal, warning, and critical values.

  • The peak value shown on the inner ring indicates the highest memory usage reached for the device.

Status:

  • Green: Memory usage is within normal range.

  • Yellow: Memory usage exceeds the warning threshold of 75%.

  • Red: Memory usage exceeds the critical threshold of 90%.

Packet Buffers: Displays current packet buffer usage.

  • The outer ring of the gauge indicates regions of normal, warning, and critical values.

  • The peak value shown on the inner ring indicates the highest packet buffer usage reached for the device.

Status:

  • Green: Packet buffer usage is within normal range.

  • Yellow: Packet buffer usage exceeds the warning threshold of 85%.

  • Red: Packet buffer usage exceeds the critical threshold of 95%.

Tx Drops: Displays current transmit drop rate.

  • The outer ring of the gauge indicates regions of normal, warning, and critical values.

  • The peak value shown on the inner ring indicates the highest transmit drop rate reached for the device.

Status:

  • Green: Transmit drop rate is within normal range.

  • Yellow: Transmit drop rate exceeds the warning threshold of 3% of transmit attempts.

  • Red: Transmit drop rate exceeds the critical threshold of 5% of transmit attempts.

Message Buffers: Displays current message buffer usage.

  • The outer ring of the gauge indicates regions of normal, warning, and critical values.

  • The peak value shown on the inner ring indicates the highest message buffer usage reached for the device.

Status:

  • Green: Message buffer usage is within normal range.

  • Yellow: Message buffer usage exceeds the warning threshold of 75%.

  • Red: Message buffer usage exceeds the critical threshold of 90%.

Rx Errors: Displays the current receive error rate.

  • The outer ring of the gauge indicates regions of normal, warning, and critical values.

  • The peak value shown on the inner ring indicates the highest receive error rate reached for the device.

Status:

  • Green: Receive error rate is within normal range.

  • Yellow: Receive error rate exceeds the warning threshold of 2% of received frames.

  • Red: Receive error rate exceeds the critical threshold of 5% of received frames.
