Environment Control Configuration commands
Environment Display commands
environment fan-speed
The environment fan-speed command determines the method of controlling the speed of the switch fans. The switch automatically controls the fan speed by default.
The switch normally controls the fan speed to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The fans can be configured to operate at a constant speed regardless of the switch temperature conditions.
The no environment fan-speed and default environment fan-speed commands restore the default action of automatic fan-speed control by removing the environment fan-speed override statement from running-config.
Overriding the system fan speed is unsupported and should only be done under the direction of an Arista Networks engineer. You can risk damaging hardware by setting the fan speed too low. Doing so without direction from Arista Networks can be grounds for voiding your warranty.

environment fan-speed ACTION
no environment fan-speed
default environment fan-speed
Parameters
- ACTION Fan speed control method. Valid settings include:
- auto Fan speed is controlled by the switch.
This option restores the default setting by removing the environment fan-speed override command from running-config.- override percent Fan speed is set to the specified percentage of the maximum. Valid percent settings range from 30 to 100.
Examples:
- This command overrides the automatic fan speed control and configures the fans to operate at 50% of maximum speed.
switch(config)#environment fan-speed override 50 ==================================================================== WARNING: Overriding the system fan speed is unsupported and should only be done under the direction of an Arista Networks engineer. You can risk damaging hardware by setting the fan speed too low and doing so without direction from Arista Networks can be grounds for voiding your warranty. To set the fan speed back to automatic mode, use the 'environment fan-speed auto' command ==================================================================== switch(config)#
- This command restores control of the fan speed to the switch.
switch(config)#environment fan-speed auto switch(config)#
environment insufficient-fans action
The environment insufficient-fans command controls the switch response to the insufficient fan condition. By default, the switch initiates a shutdown procedure when it senses insufficient fans.
The switch operates normally when one fan is not operating. Non-functioning modules should not be removed from the switch unless they are immediately replaced; adequate switch cooling requires the installation of all components, including a non-functional fan.
Two non-operational fans trigger an insufficient fan shutdown condition. This condition normally initiates a power down procedure.
The no environment insufficient-fans and default environment insufficient-fans commands restore the default shutdown response to the insufficient-fans condition by removing the environment insufficient-fans action ignore statement from running-config.
Overriding the system shutdown behavior when the system has insufficient fans inserted is unsupported and should only be done under the direction of an Arista Networks engineer. You risk damaging hardware by not shutting down the system in this situation, and doing so without direction from Arista Networks can be grounds for voiding your warranty.

command Syntax
environment insufficient-fans action REMEDY
no environment insufficient-fans action
default environment insufficient-fans action
Parameters
- REMEDY Configures action when switch senses an insufficient fan condition. Settings include:
- ignore Switch continues operating when insufficient fans are operating.
- shutdown Switch shuts power down when insufficient fans are operating.
- The shutdown parameter restores default behavior by removing the environment insufficient-fans command from running-config.
Examples:
- This command configures the switch to continue operating after it senses insufficient fan condition.
switch(config)#environment insufficient-fans action ignore ==================================================================== WARNING: Overriding the system shutdown behavior when the system has insufficient fans inserted is unsupported and should only be done under the direction of an Arista Networks engineer. You risk damaging hardware by not shutting down the system in this situation, and doing so without direction from Arista Networks can be grounds for voiding your warranty. To re-enable the shutdown-on-overheat behavior, use the 'environment insufficient-fans action shutdown' command. ====================================================================
- This command configures the switch to shut down when it senses an insufficient fan condition.
switch(config)#environment insufficient-fans action shutdown switch(config)#
environment overheat action
The environment overheat command controls the switch response to an overheat condition. By default, the switch shuts down when it senses an overheat condition.
Overriding the system shutdown behavior when the system is overheating is unsupported and should only be done under the direction of an Arista Networks engineer. You risk damaging hardware by not shutting down the system in this situation, and doing so without direction from Arista Networks can be grounds for voiding your warranty.
Arista switches include internal temperature sensors. The number and location of the sensors vary with each switch model. Each sensor is assigned temperature thresholds that denote alert and critical conditions. Temperatures that exceed the threshold trigger the following:
- Alert Threshold: All fans run at maximum speed and a warning message is logged.
- Critical Threshold: The component is shut down immediately and its Status LED flashes orange.
In modular systems, cards are shut down when their temperatures exceed the critical threshold. The switch normally shuts down if the temperature remains above the critical threshold for three minutes.
The no environment overheat action and default environment overheat action commands restore the default shutdown response to the environment overheat condition by removing the environment overheat action ignore statement from running-config.

- ignore Switch continues operating during an overheat condition.

To re-enable the shutdown-on-overheat behavior, use the 'environment overheat action shutdown' command. ==================================================================== switch(config)#

locator-led
When a component requires service, the locator-led command activates a locator to assist a technician in finding the component. The command causes the status LED on the specified component to flash, and also displays a “service requested” message on the LCD panel of modular switches or lights the blue locator light on the front of fixed switches. The available locators vary by platform; to see a list of the locator LEDs available on the switch, use the locator-led ? command. To disable the locator LED, use the no locator-led command.
