Cisco IOS and SNMP show wrong Power Supply information

ACM-Infra
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

We had a power supply failure and the switch is now powered through a RPS.

Anyhow, we are monitoring the switch with a Nagios plugin (check_snmp_env) which uses SNMP to check the status of the power supplies.

The plugin says, everything is alright. A manual snmp check says the same (power supply status 1; ok). Ios itself shows "Bad" but where does it get this info? From SNMP? Is this a bug in SNMP/ios? I find it very strange that there is no measure which shows a power supply failure.

Hardware: Catalyst 3750-E (Stacked)

Full model name: WS-C3750E-48TD

IOS Version: Cisco IOS Software, C3750E Software (C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(37)SE1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

You are seeing CSCsk08029.  But, you could also be affected by CSCsq77660.  The fix for both is to move to 12.2(46)SE or higher.
