Cisco Systems 3560-X manual StackPower Connector Catalyst 3750-X Switches, Management Ports

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Rear Panel Description

The nine ports on the XPS-2200 provide the power and management signals to the Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X switches. Other switch models do not support this management communication. The XPS-2200 communicates with each switch through the 12-pin cable. All connected switches can simultaneously communicate with the XPS-2200. You can configure these XPS-2200 features through the switch software:

•Enable XPS active or standby mode for each connected switch

•Configure switch priority for XPS support

•List the connected switches and power supply module sizes

•Report when a switch is powered by the XPS

•Report the XPS power supply module status

•Read and monitor backup, failure, and exception history

StackPower Connector (Catalyst 3750-X Switches)

The Catalyst 3750-X switches have a StackPower connector for use with Cisco StackPower cables to configure a switch power stack that includes up to four switches. By adding an XPS-2200 expandable power system, you can configure a power stack that comprises up to nine switches. A switch power stack can be configured in redundant or power-sharing mode.

You can order these StackPower cables from your Cisco sales representative:

•CAB-SPWR-30CM (0.3-meter cable)

•CAB-SPWR-150CM (1.5-meter cable)

For details about connecting StackPower cables and StackPower guidelines, see the “Planning a StackPower Stack (Catalyst 3750-X Switches)” section on page 2-8.

Management Ports

Ethernet Management Port

You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the 10/100 Ethernet management port or one of the console ports (see Figure 1-5and Figure 1-6). The 10/100 Ethernet management port connection uses a RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console port uses a USB type-A-to-USB 5-pin mini-Type B cable.
