power-supply
Syntax power-supply [power-supply-id] type
Context config>system
Description Platforms Supported: 7210 SAS-K ETR.
This command enables the context to configure the external power-supply type and also provide an
option to the user to enable or disable notifications related to power supply. This commands is
recommended to be used when redundant power supplies are used with the 7210 SAS-K ETR.
NOTE: When a single power supply is used, failure of that power supply brings the node down and
user has an option to use EFM OAM dying gasp or SNMP IP based dying gasp for sending out power
loss notification.
On 7210 SAS-K ETR, by default, the software does not generate any traps or alarms , when the
external power-supply failure has been detected. The user is provided with an option to configure the
external power-supply and its type. Only if the user configures the power-supply type as 'ac' or 'dc' the
system generates alarm or trap on a power-supply failure. The user can disable generation of alarms
or traps by setting the value to 'none'.
NOTES:
1. By setting the value to 'none', the software does not send out a trap to the management station to
clear the alarm, if there was one pending. The ‘none’ value only clears the trap locally and
resets the LED color, if there are no other major or critical alarms pending. It is expected that
the management station takes appropriate action on receiving the configuration change event or
trap.
2. The 7210 SAS-K ETR does not have the capability to detect the power-supply type, that is, it
cannot detect if the external power-supply type is an AC or DC version. Therefore, the user
configured value is not validated by the software. It is the users responsibility to ensure if it is
correct and corresponds to what they are using. If they provide a wrong value, the software con-
tinues to display the configured value and generate traps or alarms on detection of the power
supply failure.The ‘power-supply’ command is applicable only to 7210 SAS-K ETR. If used on
7210 SAS-K, the software returns an error message.
