Power Budgeting for Supervisor Modules

The power budget, or required budgeted power, is the power the system requires and reserves for supervisor
modules, switching modules (line cards), and the fan tray to operate in the chassis. In the show power, and
show power detail command outputs, this is displayed as
of this required budgeted power to be automatically redirected for use by other components in the system.
This section describes how power budgeting works with respect to supervisor modules and the configuration
options that are available.
By default, the system reserves power for a redundant setup, to ensure high availability. This means that the
system reserves the power required by both the supervisor modules in the chassis, as part of the required
budgeted power (
You can also configure the system to reserve power for a single supervisor. This configuration option is suited
to situations where a single supervisor is installed and the total available power is not sufficent to enable all
line cards and PoE ports. In such a scenario, configuring the switch to reserve power for a single supervisor
enables you to free-up power and use it for other components, such as PoE ports, or line cards instead.
Note the following restrictions and guidelines:
• If you have installed both supervisor modules, you cannot configure the power budget mode for a single
• If you have installed both supervisor modules and the default setting is effective, you must install the
