Hardware monitor

 

Temperature

The Nebula Switch has temperature sensors (BOARD / PHY / CPU/MAC) that are capable of detecting and reporting if the temperature rises above the threshold. BOARD / PHY / CPU/MAC refers to the location of the temperature sensor on the Switch printed circuit board. This field displays Normal for temperatures below the threshold and Abnormal for those above.

Fan

Normal indicates that this fan is functioning at the normal speed.

High Speed indicates that this fan is functioning above the normal speed. When the SFP+ transceiver temperature exceeds the temperature threshold (see your transceiver documentation), the Nebula Switch automatically turns on the fans with maximum fan speed to cool down the system.

The fans do not automatically turn off after the SFP+ transceiver temperature returns below threshold. To turn off the fans, you have to click Reset.

In Cloud Stacking mode, each stacked colored graph represents the power consumption of each Nebula Switch. The highest point of the graph represents the total power consumption of the stacked Nebula Switches at the time.

For example, if Nebula Switch 1 = 30 W, Nebula Switch 2 = 40 W, Nebula Switch 3 = 50 W. The highest point in Nebula Switch 2 is 70 W. The highest power consumption is 120 W at the time.

x-axis

Hover the mouse over the graph to view the recorded power consumption of a Nebula Switch on a specific time.

PoE Mode

Select the power management mode you want the Nebula Switch to use.

Classification mode – Select this if you want the Nebula Switch to reserve the Max Power (mW) to each powered device (PD) according to the priority level. If the total power supply runs out, PDs with lower priority do not get power to function.

Consumption mode – Select this if you want the Nebula Switch to manage the total power supply so that each connected PD gets a resource. However, the power allocated by the Nebula Switch may be less than the Max Power (mW) of the PD. PDs with higher priority also get more power than those with lower priority levels.
