Measures reported by NKFanTest

The Nokia IPSO firewall contains fans to ensure that the internals of the target firewall always receive adequate air flow and the temperature of the firewall is maintained at permissible levels at all times. Unavailability and poor functioning of the fans can hamper air flow, which in turn may have disastrous effects on the health of the core components of the firewall. By periodically monitoring the state of the fans, administrator can determine the availability and find out whether/not the fan is currently running. To achieve this, administrators can use this test!

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each fan of the firewall that is to be monitored.

Descriptor of the test : Fan
