Cisco EnergyWise technology extends the network as a platform for the power control plane for gathering,
managing, and reducing power consumption of all devices, resulting in companywide optimized power delivery and
reduced energy costs.
Advanced PoE Support
Although Power over Ethernet (PoE) has been employed for more than a decade, it is still an evolving technology.
New and innovative applications continue to raise expectations for power requirements. The Cisco Enhanced
EtherSwitch Service Modules are the first EtherSwitch modules to take advantage of the increased power
capabilities of the Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series routers. Table 3 gives information about total PoE power output.
Depending on the Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series router model, the available PoE power ranges from 200 to 1014
watts. The Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Module supports not only IEEE 802.1af (15.4 watts), but also Cisco
ePoE (20 watts, ES3 only) as well as Cisco pre-standard PoE. The support of both new and old power levels
demonstrates Cisco’s commitment to protection of your initial investment while planning for the future. Additional
PoE features include:
Ɣ
Per-port power consumption control allows you to specify a maximum power setting on an individual port.
Ɣ
Per-port PoE power sensing measures the actual power being drawn, enabling more intelligent control of
powered devices.
Ɣ
The Cisco PoE MIBs provide proactive visibility into power usage and allow you to set different power-level
thresholds.
Ɣ
Cisco Discovery Protocol Version 2 allows the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules to negotiate a
more granular power setting than IEEE classification provides when connecting to a Cisco powered device
such as IP phones or access points.
Ɣ
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) link layer discovery protocol and
MIB enable interoperability in multivendor networks. Switches exchange speed, duplex, and power settings
with end devices such as IP phones.
Power over Ethernet requires the PoE versions of the router power supplies. The Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series
routers support multiple PoE powering modes:
Ɣ
Normal: One PoE power supply
Ɣ
Redundant: Two PoE internal power supplies (Cisco 3925 and 3945) or one PoE power supply plus an
external Cisco RPS 2300 Redundant Power Supply Unit (Cisco 2911, 2921, and 2951), where one is active
and one is standby
Ɣ
Boost: Two PoE internal power supplies (Cisco 3925 and 3945) or one PoE power supply plus an external
Cisco RPS2300 (Cisco 2900), where both are actively supplying PoE power
