How to calculate power for Cisco Devices

[techaccesspak]

Hello,

Our company is going to deploy some CISCO devices that includes Routers/Switches/ASA Firewalls. I am assigned a task to calculate Power that is required to switch them ON.

Can Anybody please tell me how should I calculate it. Should I calculate power  on Per port basis ? OR Should I calculate Power for a complete device.

For Example, for a

WS-C3560X-24T-S

Catalyst 3560X 24 Port Data IP Base

What should be the power requirements ? I have seen it in datasheets but I am confused. Is there any tool / link that I could use to calculate the power required for a specific model ?

Any help will highly be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

Link below points to a cisco power calculator, which will determine the power supply requirement for a Cisco device.

To determine the UPS requirement, try the ups calculator at the link below.
