Hi Guys
I am trying to build a C3750X power stack however just come to know that only 4 switches can be power stacked in ring topology.
I have 6 switches in stack is it possible to have two power stacks within the one stack of 6 switches ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Oriel, yes, you can either use the expandable power system to make a single power stack of 6 or have 2 power stacks of 3 within a single data stack.

Q. How many Cisco StackPower stacks can be built within one data stack?
A. ...... Another option is to build 3 Cisco Stackpower stacks of three each.

Hi Oriel, your stack ports are currently shut, you will need to enable them to bring the powerstack up.
Issue the following command from SW1# prompt "stack-power switch
08-31-2011 04:21 AM
Hi Oriel, issue the command from the priv exec, not config mode.
SW1#stack-power switch 1 port 1 enable
not SW1(config)#

Hi Oriel, glad to hear it's now working for you.
I think that you will have to do the math to work out if your power is under-budget (add the switch power budgets and substract from available PSUs), in practice you would see a console message warning that you were below budget.
Here is a useful link for understanding and calculating power budgets.
