How do you turn off PowerConnect 7048 fan speed warnings?
We get messages like this all the time.
<189> AUG 29 09:56:24 192.168.0.254-1 BSP[90164720]: cpu_env_monitor.c(206) 4326 %% Temperature Status Change, current = 2, previous = 1 FanSpeed set to: 9000
<189> AUG 29 09:48:17 192.168.0.254-1 BSP[90164720]: cpu_env_monitor.c(206) 4324 %% Temperature Status Change, current = 1, previous = 2 FanSpeed set to: 6000
When we check the temperature on that switch, it shows the MAC sensor at 33', and the PHY at 29' both are reporting as good.
We trend the temperature in SolarWinds via a Universal Device Poller that queries OID
1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.43.1.8.1.5
boxServicesTempSensorTemperature
That confirms this. Is there any way, we can turn this reporting off? We can use Solarwinds to warn us if there is a large temperature change. Otherwise we get an email every time the fans speed up or slow down.
The switches are in a server room that is regulated at 20c. There is 2U under and above each of the switchs.

It is running firmware 5.1.10.1. We confirmed yesterday that the AC is pumping at 14c keeping the room at 20c
The switch is sending the emails. It concerns me that I have to shut off all informational alerting just to shush up the fan ones. I'll try that though.

changing the logging to 4 quieted the switches email's down. we also tried a couple of other lines...
snmp-server filter "Box Temp" boxServicesTempSensorState excluded
snmp-server filter "fan speed 1" boxServicesFanItemState excluded
snmp-server filter "fan speed 2" boxServicesFanSpeed excluded
Which did nothing, but I thought they would (located in the web interface at notification filters) using the following OID's
1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.43.1.8.1.4 (temp)
1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.43.1.6.1.3 (fan)
1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.43.1.6.1.4 (fan)
Dell is still looking into this but this is a work around.
