# SANbox2 Temperature Thresholds

The Temperature Thresholds dialog (SANbox2 only) allows you to define temperatures that cause alarms to be logged. You can set temperature thresholds by which the switch will generate an alarm or place the switch offline. If the switch internal temperature exceeds the warning threshold and the Enable Temperature Failure Port Shutdown box is checked, the switch generates an alarm. If the switch internal temperature exceeds the failure threshold and the Enable Temperature Failure Port Shutdown box is checked, the switch generates an alarm and places all ports offline. After correcting the problem, you must reset the switch to bring the ports back online.

Note: The switch will down a port if a rising threshold alarm is not cleared after three consecutive sample intervals.
