Chapter 14 Environmental Monitoring and Power Management
Power Management
If you have too many IP phones drawing power from the system, power to IP phones is cut, and some
phones may be powered down to reduce the power requirements to match the power supplies.
In the first scenario (power requirements exceed the power supplied), the system attempts to resolve this
power usage limitation by evaluating the type and number of modules installed. During the evaluation
cycle, beginning from the bottom of the chassis, the system puts the modules that it is unable to support
(for lack of power) into reset mode. The supervisor engine and modules for which there is adequate
power always remain enabled, with no disruption of network connectivity. Modules placed in reset mode
still consume some power and can be removed from the chassis to further reduce power requirements. If
you configure the chassis correctly, the system does not enter the evaluation cycle.
A module in reset mode continues to draw power as long as it is installed in the chassis; use the
show
power module
command to determine how much power is required to bring the module online.
To compute the power requirements for your system and verify that your system has enough power, add
the power consumed by the supervisor engine module(s), the fan box(es), and the installed modules
(including PoE). For PoE, total the requirements for all the phones. See the
for more information on the power consumption for the various components of
your switch.
The 802.3af-compliant PoE modules can consume up to 20 W of PoE to power FPGAs and other
hardware components on the module. Be sure to add at least 20 W to your PoE requirements for each
802.3af-compliant PoE module to ensure that the system has adequate power for the PDs connected to
the switch.
On the WS-X4148-RJ45V PoE module, PoE consumption cannot be measured. For all PoE calculations,
the PoE consumption on this module is presumed to be equal to its administrative PoE.
Use the
show module
command to verify which modules are active and which, if any, have been placed
in reset.
The following example shows the
show module
command output for a system with inadequate power
for all installed modules. The system does not have enough power for Module 5; the
Status
displays it
as
PwrDeny
.
If the PoE that is consumed by the module is more than 50 W above the PoE you allocated using the
power inline consumption default
command, the Status displays as PwrOver. If the PoE consumed by
the module is more than 50 W above the PoE module limit, the Status displays as PwrFault.
