Power Redundancy problem for cisco 3750 stack switches

[manish_3191]

Hi Team,

I have installed and configured cisco 3750X series switches in stackwise. Those are having dual power supply.

Power redundancy test performed:

1. Removed one of the power supply and inserted it back.

2. once the first power supply is ready, removed another power supply and switch got rebooted.

please find the below stack-power output:

Can anyone help what went wrong here?

Thanks

Stack topology: Standalone

Never tried this before but this could be it.

I have checked the other stack where power redundancy is working fine and it has stack topology:standalone only. But it has stack mode: Power Sharing strict thats the difference.

Really Wierd!!!

I had the same thing happen when installing a new stack.  One of the switches went into "Standalone" mode.  All you have to do to get it back into the powerstack is do the following:

conf t

stack-power switch x

  no standalone

end

Remember you'll have to manually assign all of the switches in the stack to a Powerstack because the default that it does to a large stack (> 4) isn't what you'll probably want.... as you saw.

Cosmetic bug

CSCui21029    3750X Stack no standalone stays in running configureation as standalone

Symptom:

When you are configuring a 3750x stack and initially putting it into a stack ring topology by configuring the following.

Switch(config)#stack-power switch 1

Switch(config-switch-stackpower)#sta

Switch(config-switch-stackpower)#no stan

Switch(config-switch-stackpower)#no standalone

You will see that in the running configuration it shows up as standalone mode

stack-power switch 1

switch mode: standalone

stack-power switch 2

switch mode: standalone

Conditions:

3750X stacks with any license level

Workaround:

none
