    Hi ElectricSteve,

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR community!

     

    We can also see the same alarm on my XS172T of LAB as blow:

    And our XS712T work fine and normally just like yours.

     

    <13> Sep 21 14:49:50 172.26.2.112-1 TRAPMGR[55942028]: traputil.c(658) 121 %% Temperature change alarm: Unit: 1 Sensor ID: 2 Event: Normal
    <13> Sep 21 14:49:20 172.26.2.112-1 TRAPMGR[55942028]: traputil.c(658) 120 %% Temperature change alarm: Unit: 1 Sensor ID: 2 Event: Above Threshold
    <13> Sep 20 10:26:30 172.26.2.112-1 TRAPMGR[55942028]: traputil.c(658) 119 %% Temperature change alarm: Unit: 1 Sensor ID: 2 Event: Normal
    <13> Sep 20 10:25:59 172.26.2.112-1 TRAPMGR[55942028]: traputil.c(658) 118 %% Temperature change alarm: Unit: 1 Sensor ID: 2 Event: Above Threshold
    

    This alarm will appear when temperature rise above to threshold and back to normal temperature again.

    Such as:

    1)XS712T find the temperature around comes to very high;

    2)He sent a alarm to syslog server with:

     %% Temperature change alarm: Unit: 1 Sensor ID: 2 Event: Above Threshold

    3)Then,Lab master turn on the air condition and XS712T back to normal temperature again.

    4)He told to syslog server with:

     %% Temperature change alarm: Unit: 1 Sensor ID: 2 Event: Normal

     

    So this alarm just like a kindly remainder that:

     'Hi administrator, My fever has gone':smileyhappy:

     

    After all,

    Maybe the temperature threshold for XS712T is a little low.

    Because we wana XS172T could tell administrator to avoid the high temperature that may hurt switch.

    So this alarm will appear with high frequency.

     

    We are sorry about your concerns.

     

    Regards,

    Daniel.
