We'll specifically look at the high-end routers, such as the 7x00 series, since that is where most, if not all the environmental characteristics are reported. Tables 10-6 through 10-13 summarize the environmental specifications (temperature and voltages) of each router type (7500 series and 7200 series). Subsequent sections look at the MIBs and data points to monitor for those values.
The router also reports fan status messages, but we will not go into those messages specifically because you'll start to see a pattern in the voltages and temperature monitoring. You can apply the same methodology to the fan status.

From CISCO-ENVMON MIB, the following variables are relevant to voltages:
ciscoEnvMonVoltageStatusDescr: The state of the voltage characteristics in a router.
ciscoEnvMonVoltageState: Can have one of the following values: normal, Warning, Critical, Shutdown, or notPresent.
ciscoEnvMonVoltageStatusValue: The actual voltage value.
From these MIB objects, you can identify the state of the voltage settings on the router. It may not be necessary to constantly go poll these MIB objects, but to go poll only the objects when an SNMP trap is received. These three values are used as varbinds in the ciscoEnvMonVoltageNotification Trap message. After the trap is received, you may want to go out and poll the node for awhile, especially if it exceeds a threshold setting defined in Table 10-14.
Table 10-14 summarizes the recommended baseline thresholds for voltage]

The following are show commands relating to environmental characteristics of a router. These values are comparable to the data points gathered from the MIB variables previously mentioned.
If you include the keyword “all” at the end of the show env command, the output reported is what the voltages are currently measured at. The threshold settings are not displayed in this output. All environmental characteristics are updated every 60 seconds for CLI reporting.

The router reports the current 4 DC voltages (A). The 7200 series uses different voltage data points, as indicated in Table 10-13. These values are updated every minute.
This command reports the threshold settings for the appropriate router's environmental characteristics. It reports the values seen in Table 10-14. The thresholds are categorized as either Warning or Critical.
Example 10-16 focuses on the voltage readings available from show env table.

All the threshold settings are reported here, both Warning and Critical. Table 10-14 reports everything that exceeds the Warning level because an SNMP trap will be generated when the Warning threshold is exceeded.
From CISCO-ENVMON MIB, the ciscoEnvMonVoltageNotification trap is relevant to voltages.
A ciscoEnvMonVoltageNotification is sent if the voltage measured at a given testpoint is outside the normal range for the testpoint (that is, at the Warning, Critical, or Shutdown stage). Because such a notification is usually generated before the Shutdown state is reached, it can convey more data and has a better chance of being sent than does the ciscoEnvMonShutdownNotification. The ciscoEnvMonVoltageStatusDescr, ciscoEnvMonVoltageStatusValue, and ciscoEnvMonVoltageState MIB variables are used as the varbinds or variables within this SNMP trap message.
Some of the environmental syslog messages may start with “ENV” or “ENVM,” depending on the IOS running on the router or router platform. They are summarized in Table 10-15.
Message | Explanation |
---|---|
%ENV-2-VOLTAGE: [chars] testpointmeasured [chars]. Shutdown margin is [chars] | The ENV card indicates the voltage it is measuring (for example, +5, +12, –5, –12), the amount of voltage that it measured, and the voltage at which the processor will shut down the system. |
%ENV-1-SHUTDOWN: Environmental Monitor initiated shutdown | One of the environmental measurements reached Shutdown status. The system is about to shut down the processor to prevent damage to the hardware. |
From CISCO-ENVMON MIB, the following variables are relevant to temperature:
ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusDescr
ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue
ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState
The latter can have one of the following values: normal, Warning, Critical, Shutdown, or notPresent.
From these MIB objects, you can identify the state of the temperature settings on the router. It may not be necessary to constantly go poll these MIB objects, but to only go poll the objects when an SNMP trap is received. These three values are used in the ciscoEnvMonTemperatureNotification Trap message as varbinds. After the trap is received, you may want to go out and poll the node for awhile, especially if it exceeds a threshold setting defined in Table 10-16.
Table 10-16 summarizes the recommended baseline thresholds for temperature. Table 10-17 summarizes the temperatures that will cause the router to shut down.

Two show commands that provide data relating to temperature statistics are show env all and show env table.
If you use the keyword “all” at the end of the show env command, the output reported is what the temperatures are currently measured at. The threshold settings are not displayed in this output. All environmental characteristics are updated every 60 seconds for CLI reporting.

The current Inlet and Airflow temperature (A) is reported in this output. If there is a fault in the temperature, you will see the fault here, just as you see a warning for the fan in the beginning of this sample output. Table 10-16 reports everything that exceeds the Warning level because an SNMP trap will be generated when the warning threshold is exceeded. Table 10-17 reports the temperature where the routers will shut down.
This command reports the threshold settings for the appropriate router's environmental characteristics. It reports the values seen in Table 10-16 and Table 10-17. The thresholds are categorized as Warning, Critical, or Shutdown.
Example 10-18 shows output from show env table, with emphasis on temperature values.

Following are the annotated highlights of Example 10-18:
A All the temperature threshold settings are reported for each temperature data point on the router. The Fahrenheit values are also reported in addition to the Celsius values. These values match Table 10-16 values.
B The shutdown values are reported for the power supplies, Processor boards, Airflow, or Inlet temperature. These values are the extreme values at which the routers will shut down. The shutdown values in Table 10-17 are the high-end values used so that SNMP trap messages can still be sent to inform of an imminent shutdown. The trap ciscoEnvMonShutdownNotification is sent when the values in Table 10-16 are met.
From CISCO-ENVMON MIB, the ciscoEnvMonTemperatureNotification trap is relevant to temperature. This trap is sent if the temperature measured at a given testpoint is outside the normal range for the testpoint (that is, it is at the Warning, Critical, or Shutdown stage). Because such a notification is usually generated before the Shutdown state is reached, it can convey more data and has a better chance of being sent than does ciscoEnvMonShutdownNotification. The ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusDescr, ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue, and ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState MIB variables are used as the varbinds or variables within this SNMP trap message.
Table 10-18 summarizes the syslog messages related to temperature. Some of the environmental syslog messages may start with “ENV” or “ENVM,” depending on the IOS running on the router or router platform.
Message | Explanation |
---|---|
%ENV-2-TEMP: Ambient temperature measured [chars]. Shutdown at [chars] | The ENV card indicates the temperature it measured and the temperature at which it shuts down. |
%ENV-1-SHUTDOWN: Environmental Monitor initiated shutdown | One of the environmental measurements reached SHUTDOWN status. The system is about to shut down the processor to prevent damage to the hardware. |
