12-4. Power Management

  • Power management is available on the Catalyst 6000 switch family only.

  • Power supplies can be put into a redundancy mode such that multiple supplies share the total power load. If one supply fails, another supply carries the entire system load.

  • Power supplies not in redundancy mode can combine their capacities to power the system. This proves useful when the total load of all switch modules is greater than the capacity of a single power supply. If one power supply fails and the other supply does not have the capacity to carry the entire system load, some switch modules are powered down to reduce the load.
