APC Power Architecture for Cisco Catalyst Switches Powering IP Phones
When Cisco customers deploy Catalyst 4006, 6509 and 6513 switches to handle both
voice and data traffic, it is essential to provide clean, available power to the networking
infrastructure. This paper provides reference architecture for using APC's Symmetra RM
UPS to power these switches.
APC Symmetra is a proven N+1 redundant, uninterruptible power supply that provides a
high level of power availability for converged networks and other mission critical
applications. Modular components make Symmetra easy to service. Integrated software
provides a high level of manageability through advanced diagnostics and reporting.
Symmetra's scalability offers the possibility of a UPS investment that matches the level
of phone deployment.
Please be aware of the following qualification statement and if the assumptions don't
hold, contact APC for a more appropriate solution.
Qualification
This architecture assumes the customer is:
1. Utilizing Cisco's in- line power port technology to power IP phones
2. Deploying the Cisco Switch with redundant power supplies and would want a
redundant power solution to match.
3. Planning to fully utilize the phone capacity of the Cisco switch.
4. Customer is deploying the equipment in a 208/120V 60hz environment (like the
United States).
Organization
The rest of this paper is organized into sections for each Catalyst switch with the
corresponding correct Symmetra solution. The section includes a recommended UPS as
well as the recommended power cords for the power supplies within the switch itself.
