Table 26. Power System Statistical Parameters Parameter Definition Total System Power Displays the total system power in Watts. Current Power Available Displays the current power available. * Note: The power system settings only display 1400W of available power with two or three power supplies installed. A maximum configured switch requires a maximum of two power supplies. A third power supply may be added for redundancy in the event one of the other power supplies fails.
2 When the redundant controller and element are installed, the backplane consists of the following parts: ■ One main controller ■ One redundant controller ■ Six switch elements ■ One redundant element The Cajun P880 switch is equipped with diagnostics to monitor the status of switch controllers and elements. When an element fails, diagnostics run automatically and test the hardware. In the Web Agent, information about a failed controller or element displays in the Switch Fabric Status dialog box.

2 your startup configuration, refer to “"Copying Running Configuration to Startup Configuration"” later in this section. To determine changes you have made to your running configuration, you can view and compare your running and startup configuration files. Viewing Your Running Configuration To view your running configuration: ■ In the CLI Configuration section of the Web Agent window, click Running Configuration. Or ■ In privileged mode in the Command Line Interface, enter show running_config .
Copying Configuration Files If you modify your running configuration through the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Web Agent, and you want your changes to replace your startup configuration, copy your running configuration to your startup configuration. Before you copy a running configuration over your startup configuration, copy your startup configuration to a file on the switch or on a TFTP server using the Web Agent or the Command Line Interface.
2 2. Use Table27 for information about copying a source file to a TFTP server destination: Table 27. Configuration File Management Parameters Parameter Description Options Save RunningConfig to Startup-Config Saves the running configuration to the startup configuration N/A Copy Source Specifies the source file to be copied • Unspecified- No source specified. Choose a source. • File - Specifies a source file located on the switch in NVRAM. • Running-Config Specifies a running configuration.
Table 27. Configuration File Management Parameters Parameter Description Options Copy Destination Specifies the destination of the file to be copied • Unspecified - No destination specified. Choose a destination. • File - Specifies that a source is copied or downloaded to NVRAM. • Running-Config Specifies that a source is copied to the running configuration. • Startup-Config Specifies that a source is copied to the startup configuration.
2 3. From the Copy Source pull-down menu, select one of the following: — Running-Config - To copy your running configuration to your startup configuration, to a file located on the switch, or to a file located on a TFTP server. — Startup-Config - To copy your startup configuration to your running configuration, to a file located on the switch, or to a file located on a TFTP server.
* Note: The Web Agent returns an Invalid operation! error message if you attempt to copy: — The current running configuration to the running configuration. — The startup configuration to the same startup configuration. — The specified TFTP server to a TFTP server. Viewing the Status of a TFTP Transfer After you have copied the startup configuration or other files to a TFTP server, you can check the status of the TFTP transfer to ensure that files copied correctly.
