RPS Deployment Strategies
RPS Deployment Strategies
The RPS can be deployed in a variety of situations with mission‐critical applications. For example:
•For use in a voice and data network where switches are connected to IP phones and PCs. Connecting an RPS to the switches can prevent voice network failures caused by switch failures.
•For use in traditional data 10/100/1000 Ethernet switches carrying mission‐critical data.
These applications would typically use one RPS to support up to eight SecureStack C2 switch devices as shown in Figure 1‐5. If a SecureStack C2 switch device experiences an internal power‐supply failure, the following occurs:
1.The SecureStack C2 switch device internal DC‐power source is immediately switched over from the internal DC‐power supply to the RPS DC‐power input.
2.The SecureStack C2 switch device saves this status information for future retrieval, if necessary.
