EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs

1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The aim of this document is to provide the required information to use EnergyWise on the ePDU.
It contains:

• a brief description of EnergyWise (to obtain more information: see REF_1 & REF_2)

• the configuration parameters used from HyperTerminal

• the EnergyWise agent ePDU states

• the EnergyWise parameters managed by the ePDU

EnergyWise for Advanced ePDUs

2 General description of Cisco EnergyWise

The Cisco EnergyWise network provides power usage management for the EnergyWise compatible power
devices connected to the network.

This one defines three different kinds of devices (REF 1):

• Management Station: to control and manage the power usage of Endpoints connected to the domain
members.

• Domain member (switch, router, …) : to forward messages between Managements stations and
Endpoints.

• Endpoints: the devices that use or control power like the ePDU.

The ePDU is an Endpoint in the EnergyWise network terminology.
It has several attributes (name, role, level ….see REF 2), and the Management Station can run queries to:

• Read this attribute (Collect queries).

• Summarize and aggregate attributes has consumptions of several Endpoints (aggregate queries).

• Write these attributes (Set queries).

These attributes allow for example to switch on or off the ePDU outlets (level attribute), to measure
consumption of the outlets …

The domain members forwards queries from Management stations to Endpoint devices.

2.1 Endpoint Description

2.1.1 Entity description

An Endpoint can be composed of one or several entities. Each entity can be monitored individually.

In case of the ePDU, the Endpoint is composed of:

• One entity for the ePDU: master

• One entity for each outlet

ePDU Endpoint

Device ePDU (master): entity 0

Outlet 1:entity 1 Outlet 2:entity 2 Outlet n:entity n

...

2.1.2 Power level description

EnergyWise defines 11 levels to manage the power usage of the device. For each level, a functional
behavior is associated:

The master (entity 0), when powered will be always set to 10 and his level cannot be remotely set.
The outlets will have two levels remotely settable:

• 0 : turn off

• 10: turn on
