Chapter 11 Configuring Interface Characteristics

Configuring the Cisco Redundant Power System 2300

You can configure the priority of an RPS 2300 port from 1 to 6. Specifying a value of 1 assigns the port and its connected devices the highest priority and specifying a value of 6 assigns the port and its connected devices the lowest priority.

If multiple switches connected to the RPS 2300 need power, the RPS 2300 provides power to the switches with the highest priority. If the RPS 2300 still has power available, it can then provide power to the switches with lower priorities.

Beginning in user EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure and manage the RPS 2300:

 

Command

Purpose

 

 

 

Step 1 power rps switch-numbername {string serialnumber}

Specify the name of the RPS 2300.

 

 

The keywords have these meanings:

 

 

switch-number—Specify the stack member to

 

 

which the RPS 2300 is connected. The range

 

 

is 1 to 9, depending on the switch member

 

 

numbers in the stack. This keyword is supported

 

 

only on Catalyst 3750-E switches.

 

 

name—Set the name of the RPS 2300 and enter

 

 

one of these options:

 

 

string—Specify the name such as port1 or

 

 

“port 1”. Using quotation marks before and

 

 

after the name is optional, but you must use

 

 

quotation marks if you want to include

 

 

spaces in the port name. The name can have

 

 

up to 16 characters.

 

 

serialnumber—Configure the switch to

 

 

use the RPS 2300 serial number as the

 

 

name.

 

 

 

Step 2 power rps switch-numberport rps-port-idmode {active

Specify the mode of the RPS 2300 port.

 

standby}

The keywords have these meanings:

 

 

 

 

switch-number—Specify the stack member to

 

 

which the RPS 2300 is connected. The range

 

 

is 1 to 9, depending on the switch member

 

 

numbers in the stack. This keyword is supported

 

 

only on Catalyst 3750-E switches.

 

 

port rps-port-id—Specify the RPS 2300 port.

 

 

The range is from 1 to 6.

 

 

mode—Set the mode of the RPS 2300 port:

 

 

active—The RPS 2300 can provide the

 

 

power to a switch when the switch internal

 

 

power supply cannot.

 

 

standby—The RPS 2300 is not providing

 

 

power to a switch.

 

 

The default mode for RPS ports is active.
