Configuration Notes for the Cisco eXpandable Power System 2200
March 14, 2011
The Cisco eXpandable Power System (XPS) 2200 is a standalone power system that you can connect to Catalyst 3560-X and Catalyst 3750-X switches that are running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE1 and later. The XPS 2200 can provide backup power to connected devices that experience a power supply failure or, in a Catalyst 3750-X power stack, it can supply additional power to the power stack budget. The XPS 2200 power ports and internal power supplies can operate in redundant power supply (RPS) mode or stack power (SP) mode. When two power supplies are present, the system can operate in mixed mode, where one power supply operates in RPS mode and the other in SP mode. You can configure the ports and power supplies for the way that you plan to use the XPS 2200.

Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines
Overview
The XPS 2000 has nine power ports that can operate in an RPS role or in an automatic stack power (Auto-SP) role (the default), where mode of operation is determined by the type of switch connected to the port.
•
•
You can also use the CLI to force the mode to be RPS for stackable switches.
For more information about stack power, see the "Managing Catalyst 3750-X Stack Power" chapter in the Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Switch Software Configuration Guide:
You configure the XPS through any switch connected to a power port. You can use any XPS port for configuration, and you can configure any port from any switch connected to the XPS. If you enter XPS configuration commands on more than one switch, the last configuration applied takes effect.
Although all XPS configuration is done through a switch, the XPS 2200 also runs its own software. You can upgrade this software through the XPS Service Port.
The XPS has two power supplies that can also be in either SP or RPS mode.
•
•
•
By default, power supply A (PS1) is in RPS mode, and power supply B (PS2) is in SP mode, dedicated to stack power.
In SP mode, all SP ports on the XPS belong to the same power stack. When a power stack includes an XPS, the stack topology is a star topology and consists of up to nine member switches plus the XPS 2200. The XPS power supply or power supplies that are in SP mode are considered in the power budgeting. If both XPS power supplies are in RPS mode, the power stack consists only of the switches connected to XPS ports in SP mode, and the power budget is determined by the power supplies in these switches.
If there is a power supply role mismatch, for example, if an XPS port is configured for RPS and both power supplies are in SP mode, the XPS detects the mismatch, and an error message is sent.
RPS Mode
When both XPS power supplies are in RPS mode, the XPS can back up two power supply failures for switch power supplies of equal value or less. The smallest power supply in the XPS must be greater than the largest power supply in a switch connected to an XPS port in RPS mode.
If only one supply is in RPS mode, the XPS can back up only one power supply, even when the failed power supply is much smaller. For example, if an XPS 1100 W power supply is in RPS mode and two 350 W switch power supplies fail, the XPS can back up only one of the switch power supplies.
When one XPS power supply in RPS mode is backing up a switch power supply and another switch power supply fails, a message appears that the XPS backup is not available. When the failed power supply comes up, the XPS becomes available to back up other power supplies.
If the XPS is backing up two failed power supplies in a single switch (both XPS power supplies in RPS mode), the XPS is not available to back up other switch power supplies until both of the failed supplies are repaired or replaced.
In mixed mode, with one power supply in RPS mode and one in SP mode, if two power supplies in a single switch fail, because the XPS can back up only one of them, it denies power to both power supplies, and the switch shuts down. This occurs only in mixed power mode.
If a switch is connected to a port configured as RPS, but neither of the power supplies is RPS, the RPS port configuration is rejected and the XPS attempts to add the switch to a power stack. If the switch is not capable of operating in SP mode (is not a stackable switch), the port is disabled.
Ports in RPS mode have a configurable priority. The default priority is based on the XPS port number, with port 1 as the highest priority port. A higher priority port has a higher precedence for backup than a lower priority port. If a switch connected to a higher priority port has a power supply failure while a switch connected to a low priority port is being backed up, the XPS drops power to the low priority port to supply power to the high priority port.
Stack Power Mode
Stack-power mode is used only on Catalyst 3750-X switches in a power stack. With no XPS, a power stack operates in ring topology with a maximum of four switches in the stack. When an XPS is in the power stack, you can connect up to nine switches in the stack plus the XPS, providing power budgets to power stack members similar to stack-power ring topology operation.
All Catalyst 3750-X switches connected to an XPS on SP ports are part of the same power stack, and all power from the XPS and the switches is shared across all switches in the stack. Power sharing is the default mode, but the XPS supports the same stack power modes that are supported in a ring topology (strict and nonstrict power-sharing or redundant modes).
See the "Managing Catalyst 3750-X Stack Power" chapter in the Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Switch Software Configuration Guide:
The XPS uses neighbor discovery to create the power stack. When it discovers a Catalyst 3750-X switch on an unconfigured port, it marks the port as an SP port, and the switch joins the power stack. The XPS notifies the switch, begins the power-budgeting process, and assigns budgets to each switch in the power stack based on their requirements, priorities, current power allocations, and the stack aggregate power capability.
The XPS sends the power budget to each switch. If not enough input power is available to provide every switch with its maximum requested power, power is distributed based on priority. Switches with the highest priority receive required power first, followed by any powered devices that have already been allocated power, in order of their priority. Any remaining power is distributed equally through the stack.
The RPS port priority (1 through 9) does not affect stack power priority. Each switch participating in stack power has its own system priority and a high and low priority for devices connected to its ports. These priorities are used for stack power, as is the case in a ring topology. You configure stack power priority for the system and for high and low-priority ports by using the power-priority switch, power-priority high, and power-priority low commands in switch stack power configuration mode. If a system or set of powered devices are using the default priority, the XPS automatically assigns a priority (1 through 27), with lower MAC addresses receiving higher priorities.
There are four power stack modes: power sharing, strict power sharing, redundant, or strict redundant. You configure the power stack mode by using the mode {power-sharing | redundant} [strict] command in power-stack configuration mode. The power-sharing or redundant configurations affect the power budgeting aspect of the stack; strict or non-strict affects the actions of the PoE application when a budget reduction does not result in load shedding.
•
•
•
•
For example, a system with a total PoE budget (available power) of 400 W can allocate 390 W of the budget (allocated power) to powered devices. The allocated power of a device is the maximum amount of power that the device needs. The actual power consumption (consumed power) for a set of powered devices is usually not equal to the allocated power. In this example, the actual power might be approximately 200 W. If a power loss in the stack reduces the available power to 210 W, this amount is enough to sustain the power being consumed by the powered devices, but less than the worst-case allocated power, which would put the system under budget. In strict mode, the stack would immediately deny power to powered devices until the allocated power was 210 W or less. In nonstrict mode, no action is taken, and the state is allowed to persist. In nonstrict mode if the actual power consumption becomes more than 210 W, this triggers a load shed and can result in the loss of power to all powered devices or switches with the lowest priority level.
Mixed Modes
The XPS 2200 can also operate in mixed mode, where some ports connected to switches are RPS and others are SP. At least one power supply must be an RPS power supply in this configuration. The power supply in the XPS can back up only one switch power supply and the XPS supply must be greater than the largest power supply in a switch connected to an XPS port in RPS mode.
Switches connected to SP ports belong to a single power stack. If the SP switches have a large enough power budget, an SP power supply is not required on the XPS. When an XPS power supply is configured, its power is added to the power pool shared by the power stack.

Configuring the XPS 2200
You can configure the XPS from any switch connected to an XPS port. If you enter XPS configuration commands on more than one switch, the last configuration applied takes effect. Only the switch and port name are saved in the switch configuration file.
•
XPS 2200 System Defaults
The default role for a port is Auto-SP, where the power mode is determined by the switch connected to the port (RPS for Catalyst 3560-X or Catalyst 3750-X switches running the LAN base image, or SP for Catalyst 3750-X switches running the IP base or IP services image).
The default for the XPS power supply A (PS1) is RPS mode. The default for power supply B (PS2) is SP mode.
The default mode for all ports and power supplies is enabled.
On ports configured for RPS, the default priority is the same as the port number.
Configuring the System Names
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a name for the XPS 2200 system and for an XPS port connected to a switch.
Use the no power xps switch-number name command to remove the system name. Use the no power xps switch-number port command to remove the port name.
Configuring XPS Ports
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure XPS 2200 ports. These commands apply to the XPS and are saved in the XPS, but the configuration is not saved in the switch configuration file.
For auto-SP ports participating in stack power, configure stack power characteristics by using the stack power commands described in the software configuration guide.
Configuring XPS Power Supplies
You can configure the mode of an XPS power supply and you can configure it to be on or off. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure XPS 2200 power supplies.

power xps (global configuration)
To configure a name for the Cisco eXpandable Power System 2200 (XPS 2200) that is connected to a Catalyst 3750-X or 3650-X switch, or to configure the XPS port used for the connection, use the power xps command in global configuration mode. To remove the name, use the no form of the command.
power xps switch-number {name {name | serialnumber} | port port-number {name | hostname | serialnumber}}
no power xps switch-number {name {name | serialnumber} | port port-number {name | hostname | serialnumber}}
Syntax Description
The name of the XPS 2200 and XPS ports are not configured.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The XPS name is a 16-character maximum character string. In a standalone switch, the name applies to the connected XPS. In a switch stack, the name applies to the XPS connected to the specified switch.
Use the no power xps switch-number name command to remove the system name. Use the no power xps switch-number port command to remove the port name.
Naming conflicts can occur when multiple data-stacked switches are connected to the same XPS. To avoid conflicts, configure the name only for the lowest switch number in the stack that is connected to the XPS. The show commands display only the name configured for the lowest switch number in the stack that is connected to the XPS. Other configured names are stored in the config.text file, but are ignored in the show command outputs.
You can verify your settings by entering the show env xps configuration or show env xps port privileged EXEC command.

Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
A power supply in RPS mode can supply power to only one failed power supply, regardless of the power level of the supply or the failed power supply. The smallest power supply in RPS mode must be equal to or greater than the largest switch power supply connected to an XPS port in RPS mode.
When a failed power supply is repaired or replaced, the XPS automatically backs off from supplying power.
When a power supply is in SP mode, the available power from the power supply is added to the power stack budget, along with the available power from all switches in the power stack.
When both power supplies are in SP mode, any connections from the XPS to nonstackable switches are disabled, and connections to stackable switches are put in SP mode.
In mixed mode, with one power supply in RPS mode and one in SP mode, if two power supplies in a single switch fail, because the XPS can back up only one of them, it denies power to both power supplies, and the switch shuts down. This occurs only in mixed power mode.
You can verify your settings by entering the show env xps power or show env xps configuration privileged EXEC command.
