6. Scroll down the page to the section for Cisco EnergyWise (refer to
Figure C-1), then configure the agent.
a. Ensure that Enable Agent is selected.
b. Enter the domain and endpoint password configured on the Cisco
EnergyWise domain, represented by domainname and endpointpw
in the example above. If you choose to enable energywise endpoint
security none
on the upstream Cisco EnergyWise domain member,
leave the Secret field on the ePower agent blank.
c. Enter the name of the ePower endpoint. If the Name field is left
blank, the name of the endpoint in the Cisco EnergyWise domain
is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the ePower unit.
d. Enter the role of the ePower endpoint. This required field is
a textual description of the ePower unit’s role in the Cisco
EnergyWise domain, and is used only for management purposes.
The default value is generically Power Distribution.
e. Enter the keywords to use when filtering queries sent to the ePower
endpoint. This optional field is a comma-separated list of “tags” that
are sent with a Cisco EnergyWise query message, and used by the
endpoints for response filtering.
f. Select the ranking from the Importance drop-down list.
On a scale of 1 to 100, this compares the relative importance of
this ePower unit versus other EnergyWise endpoints in the Cisco
EnergyWise domain. This ranking is typically used as a filter
for policy-based network management. By convention, a lower
value (1) is less important than a higher value (100).
7. Select Save when finished.
The ePower endpoint agent starts and attempts communication
with the Cisco EnergyWise domain member. You can use the IOS
commands show energywise children and energywise query (shown in
Figure C-2) on the domain member, to verify that communication
is established.
