Although the power stack in the example has extra capacity that gets in the power pool, it is not sufficient to power the switch D and PoE devices attached to it. To get the system in balance and to have a positive power budget, we must add more power to the stack; a 350W power supply will solve the problem but it must be installed in slot A of switch D (see the “Best Practices” section). W ith the addition of a 350W power supply we can make the power budget positive and have additional 241W left over in case more power is required by switch B or switch D.

Cisco StackPower technology provides us the ability to share and redirect surplus power from switch C to switch D, which does not have any power supply. Note that switch D even boots up without a power supply, since the StackPower allocates and directs power to it.

Cisco StackPower also has the ability to provide redundancy without the extra rack-unit in the rack. By adding one 1100W power supply to any of the open slots in the power stack, you can configure reserved power to be used in case of the failure of any power supply in the stack. This feature is called Zero-Footprint RPS.

Displaying Cisco StackPower Information

The Cisco IOS Software command-line interface (CLI) can be used to view Cisco StackPower details in terms of configured mode, StackPower port status, neighbor information, and power requirements as well as default and configured priorities.

“show stack-power”

Power stack name: Powerstack-1

Stack mode: Power sharing strict

Switch 1:

Power budget: 1646

Low port priority value: 27

High port priority value: 26

Switch priority value: 4

Port 1 status: Not shut

Port 2 status: Not shut

Neighbor on port 1: 0022.bdcf.9200

Neighbor on port 2: 0000.0000.0000

Switch 2:

Power budget: 206

Low port priority value: 19

High port priority value: 18

Switch priority value: 3

Port 1 status: Not shut

Port 2 status: Not shut

Neighbor on port 1: 0000.0000.0000

Neighbor on port 2: 0022.bdd0.6680

The “show env” command can complement the information to obtain the available power sources in the stack. Notice in the output below, switch 1 only has one 1100W power supply and switch 2 has one 1100W in slot A and one 715W in slot B.
