Suppressing the Power-Supply Alarm on an ME 3400G-12CS Switch
The Cisco ME 3400G-12CS switch has two power supplies and normally activates alarm indications
(LED state, MIB state, and MIB traps) when it detects that a power supply is not operating. However,
the switch can also operate with a single power supply. You can enter the no power-supply dual global
configuration command to suppress the alarm when the switch is using a single power supply.
Note The no power-supply dual command is supported only on the Cisco ME 3400G-12CS switches.
When two power supplies are operating and you enter the no power-supply dual command, alarms are
suppressed on power supply 2. When one power supply is operating, alarms are suppressed for the power
supply that is not providing power.
