Warning
Overview
Voice over IP (VoIP) service and the emergency calling service do not function if power fails or is
disrupted. After power is restored, you might have to reset or reconfigure equipment to regain
access to VoIP and the emergency calling service. In the USA, this emergency number is 911. You
need to be aware of the emergency number in your country.
For information about this warning, see the “Important Notice” appendix.
In a Cisco EnergyWise network, EnergyWise monitors and manages the power usage of powered
devices: Cisco devices in a domain and all the connected end points.
An end point can be a device connected to the network, such as an IP phone, access point, or PC.
An entity refers to a domain member or an end point.
You can configure policies, referred to as recurring events or recurrences, to use time-of-day settings to
automatically manage power usage.

•Management stations—Control applications and devices that use EnergyWise to monitor and
manage the power usage of domain members and end points. Management stations also send
queries.
Use the management application programming interface (API) to write a power management
application.
•Domain members—Cisco switches, routers, and network devices that use power. They forward
messages across an EnergyWise domain consisting of other Cisco devices and end points. They also
forward and reply to queries from the management station and other domain members and aggregate
power-usage information from the end points.
A domain is treated as one unit of power management and is similar to a network-management
community.
•End points—Devices that use power. They only respond to queries.
Use the end-point software development kit (SDK) to implement an agent or client that participates
as an EnergyWise end point.
Domain members and end points can receive power from an AC power source, a DC power source, or a
power supply.
OL-19806-03
Cisco EnergyWise Configuration Guide

Creating an EnergyWise Domain
Power over Ethernet (PoE) domain members and end points can also receive power from PoE switches
or Cisco EtherSwitch service modules. For example, IP phones and access points connected to a PoE
switch receive power from the switch.
Creating an EnergyWise Domain
An EnergyWise domain is treated as one unit of power management and is similar to a
network-management community (for example, a VLAN Trunking Protocol [VTP] domain). An
EnergyWise domain consists of Cisco domain members and end points. The domain members forward
messages to other members and to end points.
For example, if you have a building with a core router, 10 access switches, and 400 end points, such as
phones, access points, and PCs running the end point SDK, you can create an EnergyWise domain called
MyBuilding with the router and switches as domain members.
NoteIf you want to implement power management applications on a management station and EnergyWise
agents on the end points, the domain members must all run EnergyWise Phase 2 or later.
Chapter 1 Managing Single Entities
After you enable and configure EnergyWise on the core router and access switches, the MyBuilding
domain configures itself. Neighbor relationships are set among the domain members.
•Domain members use CDP when it is enabled or EnergyWise UDP messages to automatically
discover neighbors.
•You can manually configure static neighbors,
Each domain member sets up a parent-child relationship with an attached end point. The child is one of
the 400 end points, and the parent is the domain member. For example, an IP phone (child) is connected
to a PoE switch (parent), or a PC is connected to a router.
The EnergyWise domain can also have end points running custom SDK agents.
After the domain is set, a domain member can forward queries and control messages to other domain
members and endpoints.
You ca n
•Use SNMP or a management station to query every entity (domain member or end point).
•Run an EnergyWise query to receive or set power usage information.
•Use a management application, server, or CLI of a domain member to define power usage policies
or receive power usage information.

Chapter 1 Managing Single Entities
Power Levels
The devices in an EnergyWise network are from different manufacturers. To manage power usage
consistently, EnergyWise uses a set of power levels.
If a domain member sends an end point a request to change the power level, the end point determines the
appropriate action.

The range is from 0 to 10.
The default is 10.
A Cisco switch does not support level 0. You cannot turn off the power on a switch.
A PoE end point, such as IP phone, receives power from a PoE switch port.
•The power level is for the port.
•The port supports levels 0 to 10.
•If the port power level is 0, the port is powered off.
•If the power level is from 1 to 10, the port is on.

0/2.
Recurring Event
You can configure the switch to power an end point or interface on and off based on the time or date.
A recurring event, also referred to as a recurrence, uses the switch time.
The settings are only in the running configuration.
If the switch fails and then restarts, it uses the power level in the saved configuration.
Secure Domain Communication
Configure the security mode and password, referred to as the shared secret, to prevent replay attacks.
You set either a strong password with Network Time Protocol (NTP) or a strong password without NTP.
When you use NTP to synchronize the time among domain members and you set a shared secret with
NTP, EnergyWise uses the current time with the shared secret to enhance prevention of replay attacks.

Configuration Guidelines
Configuration Guidelines
By default, EnergyWise is disabled on the switch.
If you enter the no energywise level command, the switch does not immediately change the power level
to the default. The power level changes when the switch restarts or when you enter the energywise level level command.
For a switch with PoE ports, such as a PoE-capable switch:
•When you add the switch to a domain, EnergyWise is enabled on the switch and all the PoE switch
ports.
•Use the energywise level 0 interface configuration command to power off a PoE port.
•You cannot use the energywise level 0 global configuration command to power off the switch.
If a port is in the error-disabled state:
•It appears as an EnergyWise entity in the show command output and in the collect query results. The
query results show that the port uses 0 W.
•It does not respond to a set query.
Chapter 1 Managing Single Entities
For recurring events:
•Specify time in the 24-hour format. For example, to set 0634
–
As a specific time, enter the energywise level level recurrence importance importance at 34
6 * * * interface configuration command.
–
In a time range, enter the absolute start 06:34 * * 2009 and the periodic daily 06:34 time-range
configuration commands.
•The time zone is based on the end point.
–
If EnergyWise is not running on the end point (for example, a PoE end point), the specified time
is based on the switch time zone.
–
If an agent or client is running on the end point, the specified time is based on the end-point
time zone.
•If you configure the switch to power on an end point or a PoE port at a specific time, it powers on
within 1 minute, for example, between 0700 and 0701.
•If you configure the same recurring event for multiple end points, they all power on within 1 minute.
NoteSee the Release Notes for Cisco EnergyWise, EnergyWise Phase 2 on Cisco.com for software
releases with Cisco EnergyWise Phase 2.
•When you use the day_of_month and the day_of_week in the energywise level level recurrence
importance importance at minute hour day_of_month month day_of_week interface configuration
command in an EnergyWise Phase 2 software release:

–
The recurring event occurs when either the day_of_month or the day_of_week occurs first in
releases earlier than the EnergyWise Phase 2 releases.
If you specify both the day_of_month and the day_of_week, the event occurs when either the day_of_month or the day_of_week is first.
If you specify the day_of_month and use a wildcard (*) for the day_of_week, the event occurs
on the day_of_month.

When configuring domains:
•Use a strong password for the domain shared secret.
•You must configure the same security mode, either an Network Time Protocol (NTP) or a non-NTP
shared secret, for all the domain members.
You must use a strong password:
•Contains both upper and lower case characters (for example, a–z and A–Z).
Configuration Guidelines
If you use a wildcard for the day_of_month and specify the day_of_week, the event occurs on
the day_of_week.
If you use wildcards for both the day_of_month and the day_of_week, the event occurs on any
day.
After you upgrade the software to an EnergyWise Phase 2 release or later, a configured recurring
event might occur less frequently than before the upgrade. Reconfigure the event.
Before you upgrade the software to an EnergyWise Phase 2 release or later, the event occurs
every day in February.
After you upgrade the software, the event might not occur.
•Contains letters, numerals, and punctuation (for example, 0-9 and !@#$%^&*()_+|~
=\`{}[]:";'<>?,/).
•Is at least five alphanumeric characters long.
•Is not a word in any language and is not slang, dialect, or jargon.
•Is not based on personal information, such as the names of family members.
Do not use a weak password:
•Contains fewer than eight characters.
•Is a word found in a dictionary (English or foreign)
•Is any other term that is easily guessed or found in common usage, such as
The name of family, pet, friend, coworker, or fantasy character.
A computing term or name, such as a command, site, company, model, or application.
Is a birthday or another kind of personal information, such as an address or telephone number.
Is a predictable letter pattern or number pattern, such as aaabbb, qwerty, zyxwvuts, or 123321.

Using the Call In-Progress Feature
Using the Call In-Progress Feature
Use this feature, also referred to as activity check, to configure the switch to wait until a Cisco IP phone
connected to a PoE port is not sending or receiving traffic before powering off the port.
Use the energywise activitycheck interface configuration command on these Cisco devices:
•Catalyst 6500 switches (see the Cisco IOS Release Notes for Cisco EnergyWise, EnergyWise
Phase
2 for the specific devices)
•Catalyst 4500 switches
NoteBefore powering off a PoE port, Catalyst 6500 and Catalyst 4500 switches use interface statistics
to determine when a Cisco IP phone connected to the PoE port is not sending or receiving traffic.
•Catalyst 3750-X, 3750-E, 3750, 3560-X, 3650-E, 3560, and 2960 switches
•Cisco EtherSwitch service modules (NME-16ES-1G, NME-16ES-1G-P, NME-X-23ES-1G,
Before entering the energywise activitycheck command on devices other than Catalyst 6500 and 4500
switches, you must enable automatic quality of service (auto-QoS) for VoIP on the port with this
configuration:
Chapter 1 Managing Single Entities
•All packets from the IP phone have the class of service (CoS) value 5.
To verify this, use the show mls qos maps cos-output-q privileged EXEC command to display the
CoS output queue threshold map.
This example shows that CoS value 5 is mapped to queue 1 and threshold 3 on the Gigabit
Ethernet
Cos-outputq-threshold map:
cos: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
------------------------------------
queue-threshold: 4-3 4-2 3-3 2-3 3-3 1-3 2-3 2-3

•Auto-QoS for VoIP is enabled on the PoE port.
•Auto-QoS is enabled on the IP phone. The switch does not change the CoS value in the packet from
the IP phone.

Cisco EnergyWise Configuration Guide
OL-19806-03
Chapter 1 Managing Single Entities
•If the switch is connected to the IP phone through multiple Cisco devices, verify that they trust the
CoS value in incoming packets and do not change it.
•After entering the energywise activitycheck interface configuration command, verify that the
switch powers off the port when a Cisco IP phone connected to it is not sending or receiving traffic.
While making a phone call
–
Run a query to set the port power level to 0. The switch should not power off the IP phone.
–
Use the show mls qos interface statistics privileged EXEC command to display the port QoS
statistics, including the number of packets in queue 1.

Preventing Network Access to a Non-Cisco End Point
Preventing Network Access to a Non-Cisco End Point
We do not recommend using PC clients running EnergyWise Orchestrator as domain members. In an
EnergyWise network, non-Cisco endpoints could have access to the connected IP network and the
Internet.

3Layer 2 switch7Router
4Layer 3 switch8Management interface SVI 11
For example, in this network, to receive an IP address from the DHCP server, the PC sends a broadcast
message to the switches, which forward the message to the Internet. The DHCP server receives the
message and assigns an IP address to the PC.
When the PC sends an EnergyWise message to the Layer 2 switch, it forwards the message to the Layer 3
switch instead of responding to it. The Layer 2 switch and the connected PC are in different VLANs.
The Layer 3 switch also forwards the message.
If the message is forwarded to the router, the router adds the PC to the router MAC address table as a
directly connected device. To prevent this, you can configure a switched virtual interface (SVI) on the
Layer 2 switch so that the PC and switch are now in the same VLAN.
The PC now has access to the connected IP network and to the Internet.
•When the PC sends messages to the switch, the switch now responds to the messages instead of
forwarding them.
•The PC can also send messages to and receive messages from the IP network.

the Layer 2 switch. This ACL permits only traffic sent to an IP address of 255.255.255.255 or 20.0.0.1
and to a UDP port of 43440.
Switch(config)# access-list 102 permit udp any any eq 43440
Switch(config)# access-list 102 permit udp any 20.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 eq 43440
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show access-lists
Extended IP access list 102
10 permit udp any any eq 43440
20 permit udp any 20.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 eq 43440
NoteWhen you are creating an ACL, remember that, by default, the end of the access list contains an implicit
deny statement for all packets if it did not find a match before reaching the end.
CLI Compatibility Issues
EnergyWise Phase 2 is not backward-compatible with EnergyWise Phase 1.
NoteCatalyst 6500 switches do not support EnergyWise Phase 1.
To display the EnergyWise version running on your switch, use the show energywise version privileged
EXEC command.
To display the software version running on your switch, use the show version privileged EXEC
command.

NoteIf your switch is running EnergyWise Phase 2, enter the no energywise domain global configuration
command to disable EnergyWise before downgrading your software to a release supporting EnergyWise
Phase 1.
If your switch is running EnergyWise Phase 1 and you upgrade your software to a release supporting

Enter the copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC command to save the EnergyWise
settings in the configuration file.

EnergyWise Phase 2 or later
NoteTo verify the EnergyWise release, use the show energywise version privileged EXEC
command.
The EnergyWise release is referred to as the EnergyWise specification in the command
output.
–
All domain members must have the same domain name and security mode.
–
If your switch is stacking-capable (for example, a Catalyst 3750-X, 3750-E, or 2960-S switch)
and is a member of a switch stack, all the stack members must run the same EnergyWise version.
These commands in EnergyWise Phase 1 were modified:
•energywise domaindomain-name secret [0 | 7] password global configuration command
We recommend that you reconfigure the EnergyWise domain with the energywise domain domain-namesecurity {ntp-shared-secret | shared-secret} [0 | 7] shared-secret global
configuration command.
If you do not reconfigure the domain, the switch synchronizes the management password with the
the domain password.
•energywise managementtcp-port-number global configuration command
We recommend that you reconfigure the management password for the domain with the energywise
management security shared-secret [0 | 7] shared-secret port tcp-port-number global
configuration command.

Enables EnergyWise on the entity, assigns the entity to a domain
with the specified domain-name, sets the domain security mode,
and sets the domain password to authenticate all communication
in the domain.
•ntp-shared-secret—Sets a strong password with NTP. If the
time between members varies ±30 seconds, the entity drops
events.
•shared-secret—Sets a strong password without NTP.

default.
•(Optional) 7—Uses a hidden password.
If you do not enter 0 or 7, the default is 0.
•(Optional) portudp-port-number—Specifies the UDP port
that communicates with the domain.
The range is from 1 to 65000. The default is 43440.
•(Optional) interfaceinterface-id—Specifies the port that
communicates with the domain if the IP address is
dynamically assigned.We recommend that you specify the
interface-id. You should use this in a bridged network.
