FEATURES AND BENEFITS
High Availability/Increased Network Uptime
●
Modular power supplies and a fan module offer enhanced availability.
●
Less than 60-µs failover capability prevents switch reboot after an internal switch
power failure.
●
When backed up by a Cisco RPS 2300, the failed power supply of a Cisco Catalyst 3750-E
or 3560-E Series Switch automatically reverts back to its own power supply and is
reinstated without causing a switch reboot.
●
The system supports traditional data-only Ethernet switches as well as PoE switches.
●
The system is capable of providing AC source backup when separate circuits are used for
the RPS and attached devices.
Ease of Use and Ease of Deployment
●
Modular power supplies offer configuration flexibility.
●
The system, or individual RPS ports, can be remotely placed in active or standby mode.
●
1-rack-unit form factor provides for efficient wiring closet space utilization
●
The system offers configurable RPS port priorities and failover policy.
●
Enhanced management capabilities are available through Cisco Catalyst 3750-E and
3560-E Series Switches. Users can identify and monitor the following activity on the
Cisco RPS 2300, using CLI, the CiscoWorks LMS or Cisco Network Assistant network
management applications:
Switch connectivity and power requirements
Power delivery status for individual RPS ports
Net power usage
Backup, failure, and exception history
●
The system enables hot insertion of external devices and modular power supplies
●
LEDs on front panel and power supplies indicate system and power status.
Cost-Effective Solution
●
Innovative power architecture delivers a cost-effective RPS that supports up to six switches.
A single RPS can actively back up to two switches simultaneously, reducing the redundant
power cost per switch.
●
The system supports a wide variety of Cisco Catalyst switches and Cisco Integrated
Services Routers.
