Redundant Power System - Cisco Catalyst 3750V2-24PS Datasheet

3750 v2 Series Switch is combined with the Cisco RPS 2300 for protection against internal power supply failures and
an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to safeguard against power outages.

Redundant Power System

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series access switches support the new generation of Cisco RPS 2300, which increases
availability in a converged data, voice, and video network by providing transparent power backup to two of six
attached Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series Switches at the same time. The Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series Switches are
capable of reverting to their internal power supply without any service interruption. In addition, the Cisco RPS 2300
can be managed by a Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series Switch that is connected to it.
Primary Features and Benefits
Ease of Use and Deployment
The Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series offers several ease-of-use features, which enable fast and easy configuration of
advanced Cisco Catalyst capabilities. These features include:
Cisco SmartPorts simplify the configuration of advanced Cisco Catalyst capabilities, encapsulating years of
●
Cisco networking expertise. Cisco SmartPort macros offer a set of verified, pretested, recommended switch
port configurations or templates per connection type that are easy to apply, enabling users to consistently
and reliably configure essential security, IP telephony, availability, QoS, and manageability features with little
effort and expertise.
Cisco Auto-SmartPorts automatically execute SmartPort macros based on the end-device type, such as IP
●
phones, desktop computers, and WLAN access points.
Cisco Express Setup simplifies initial configuration with a web browser, eliminating the need for more
●
complex terminal emulation programs and command-line interface (CLI) knowledge.
IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE support comes with automatic discovery to detect a Cisco
●
prestandard or IEEE 802.3af endpoint and provide the necessary power without any user configuration.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server
●
eases switch deployment.
DHCP AutoInstall simplifies the deployment of a large number of switches by automatically downloading a
●
specified Cisco IOS Software image and a configuration file from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
server. This feature can be used to implement an automated, or zero-touch, deployment.
DHCP Port-Based Allocation allows you to allocate the same IP address for a specified port. The feature
●
allows persistent allocation of IP addresses to specified network devices.
Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) is a powerful and flexible tool for management and automation.
●
This feature can be used to monitor network events and program automatic actions based on these network
events. Policies can be defined through the CLI or through Tool Command Language (TCL) scripts and can
be used in a variety of scenarios, such as automatic backup of a configuration file at a specified time or the
triggering of an alert when traffic congestion crosses a specified threshold. Cisco IOS EEM requires the IP
Services license.
Configuration Replace and Rollback simplifies configuration management by allowing you to roll back
●
configuration changes. This feature allows you to replace a configuration file with a saved configuration file
without a switch reload; up to 14 configuration files can be saved.
Automatic QoS (Auto-QoS) simplifies QoS configuration in voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks by sending
●
interface and global switch commands to detect Cisco IP Phones, classify traffic, and enable egress queue
configuration.
