Redundant mode—Uses the capacity of one power supply only. This is the default mode. In case of
power supply failure, the entire switch has sufficient power available in the system.
Combined mode—Uses the combined capacity of both power supplies. In case of power supply
failure, the entire switch can be shut down (depends on the power used) causing traffic disruption.
This mode is seldom used, except in cases where the switch has two low power supply capacities
but a higher power usage.
