Management Options Chapter 1 Product Overview Cisco RPS 675 The Cisco RPS 675 has two output levels: -48 V and 12 V with a maximum output power of 675 W. Use the supplied RPS connector cable to connect the RPS to the switch. The RPS is a redundant power system that can support six external network devices and provides power to one failed device at a time. It automatically senses when the internal power supply of a connected device fails and provides power to the failed device, preventing loss of network traffic. For more information on the Cisco RPS 675, see the Cisco RPS 675 Redundant Power System Hardware Installation Guide. Console Port You can connect the switch to a PC by means of the console port and the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. If you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the "Connector and Cable Specifications" section on page B-1. Note On the Catalyst 3750G-24WS-S25 and the 3750G-24WS-S50 switches, there are two console ports; the switch console port and the controller console port. The controller console port can be used to directly configure the controller if you lose connectivity between the switch and the controller. Management Options The Catalyst 3750 switches offer several management options: • Network Assistant Cisco Network Assistant is a PC-based network management GUI application optimized for LANs of small and medium-sized businesses. Cisco Network Assistant offers centralized management of Cisco switches that range from the Cisco Catalyst 2950 through the Cisco Catalyst 4506. Through a user-friendly GUI, users can configure and manage switch clusters or standalone switches. Cisco Network Assistant is available at no cost and can be downloaded from this URL: http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=279230132http://www.cisco.com/pcgi -bin/tablebuild.pl/NetworkAssistanti=rp For information on starting the Network Assistant application, see the Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant guide on Cisco.com. • Device manager You can use the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and standalone switches. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. For more information, see the device manager online help. 1-26 Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide OL-6336-10
