7 Cisco EnergyWise Technology: Good for Business, Better for Environment Cisco EnergyWise is an innovative architecture, added to the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Switches , that enable the measurement of power consumption in the network infrastructure and network attached devices. EnergyWise encompasses a highly intelligent network based approach to communicate messages that measure and control energy between network devices and end points. The network discovers Cisco EnergyWise manageable devices, monitors their power consumption, and takes action based on business rules to reduce power consumption.

8 EnergyWise uses a unique domain naming system to query and summarize information from large sets of devices making it simpler than traditional network management capabilities. Cisco EnergyWise s management interfaces allow facilities and network management applications to communicate with end points and each other using the network as a unifying fabric. The management interface uses standard SNMP or SSL to integrate Cisco and third party management systems. Cisco EnergyWise extends the network as a platform for power control plane for gathering, managing and reducing power consumption of all devices, resulting in company-wide optimized power delivery and reduced energy costs.

9 Together, Cisco EnergyWise technology and Catalyst Switches enable Greenhouse Gas (GhG) emissions reduction, increased energy cost savings and sustainable business behavior.

Page 3 of 21 Power over Ethernet The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series provide PoE to allow easy connectivity to Ethernet-powered devices including Cisco IP phones and wireless access points. Cisco Catalyst 2960 PoE models comply with Cisco pre-standard PoE and IEEE PoE removes the need for wall power to each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost for additional electrical cable and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments.

10 PoE Switches also eliminate the need for power injectors and PoE mid-spans for powering IP devices. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-48 PST-L can support 48 PoE ports with total PoE power output capacity at 370W. Taking advantage of Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Power Management, the Cisco Catalyst 2960-48 PST-L configuration can deliver the necessary power to support 24 ports at , 48 ports at , or any combination in between. Cisco Catalyst 2960-24PC-L can support 24 simultaneous full-powered PoE port at The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24LT-L has 24 10/100 ports with 8 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at The Cisco Catalyst 2960-8TT-L has eight 10/100 ports with one 10/100/1000 PoE input port.
