The redundant power supply (RPS) port is used to connect to a Summit RPS. The
Summit RPS provides a redundant, load-shared power source to the Summit. If the
primary power source for the switch fails, the RPS takes over, ensuring uninterrupted
network operation.
When connected to a Summit RPS, the Summit switch can provide status on power and
fan operation of the RPS through SNMP, the command-line interface, and the Web
interface.
The Summit RPS can simultaneously provide power for as many as two Summit
switches.
