• all - enables power to all interface modules
• <slot-number> disables power to the interface module in the specified slot. You can specify
1-4 for 4-slot routers, 1-8 for 8-slot routers, 1-16 for 16-slot routers, and 1-32 for 32-slot
routers.
Monitoring I2C failures on management modules
The management module accesses temperature sensors, fan controllers, power supplies, serial
PROMs, and other devices are all accessed through the I2C serial bus. When I2C devices are
inaccessible, generic (and uninformative) error messages are displayed on the management
module console interface. If you do not keep a record of the console messages before the
management module resets or reloads, these error messages will be lost.
At the first occurrence of an I2C failure, the Global I2C Error Indicator (GIEI) flag severity is set to
major. The GIEI flag is cleared only when the management module is able to access the same
physical device successfully. The GIEI severity flag is set to minor only if other I2C devices are
accessible. A set of static and dynamic Syslog messages are generated when any or all of the
following events occur:
• When an I2C failure is first detected
• When the GIEI severity is changed from major to minor
• When the GIEI flag is cleared
These Syslog messages are generated in both the static and dynamic sections of the show logging
command output. A Syslog message is also sent to the SNMP log server.
When the GIEI is set to major, the first Syslog message displayed is an Alert. The following example
shows an Alert Syslog message where the GIEI is set to major:
The Syslog message shows the last successful I2C access by the management module and also
contains the following information about the failed device:
• Current state of the GIEI flag
• Severity of the failure: major or minor
