Solved: C6509e Power Usage

car1o · ‎03-26-2013

Hello,

We are buying some C6509Es with Sup2Ts and 8 port 10G cards. Would like to get a close estimate of the power consumption for our configured chassis. Does anyone have a C6509E with at least the following components that can share their show power output.

Catalyst 6500 Enhanced 9-slot chassis 14RU no PS no Fan Tray	1
Catalyst 6509-E Chassis Fan Tray	1
Catalyst 6500 24-port GigE Mod: fabric-enabled with DFC4	1
C6K 8 port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module with DFC4 (Trustsec)	1
Catalyst 6500 Dist Fwd Card DFC4	1
6908 10G baseboard	1
Cat6500 6000W AC Power Supply	2
Cat 6500 Sup 2T with 2 x 10GbE and 3 x 1GbE with MSFC5 PFC4	2
Internal 1G Compact Flash	2
Cat 6k 80G Sys Daughter Board Sup2T PFC4	2
Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 2T Baseboard	2
Catalyst 6500 2GB memory for Sup2T and Sup2TXL	2

It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Carlo

Hi,

To get the most accurate numbers for your device use the Cisco Power calculator. It will give the power consumption per blade and also per sup with different types of power supplies.

That did the trick. Though I wonder if the show power command uses the same algorithym as the above link. I used one of our running C6506's to compare the accuracy between the web page and an actual switch. The two matched exactly. Shouldn't there be some variance between actual an calculated?

#show power

system power redundancy mode = redundant

system power total = 2331.00 Watts (55.50 Amps @ 42V)

system power used = 1493.94 Watts (35.57 Amps @ 42V)

system power available = 837.06 Watts (19.93 Amps @ 42V)
