Catalyst 3560 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
2-14
The RPS is a redundant power system that can support six external network
devices and provides power to one failed device at a time. It automatically senses
when the internal power supply of a connected device fails and provides power to
the failed device, preventing loss of network traffic. For more information on the
Cisco RPS 675, refer to the Cisco RPS 675 Redundant Power System Hardware
Installation Guide.
You can connect the switch to a PC by means of the console port and the supplied
RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. If you want to connect the switch console port to a
terminal, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can
order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco.

The Catalyst 3560 switches offer several management options:
Cluster Management Suite (CMS)
•
CMS is a graphical user interface that can be launched from anywhere in your
network through a web browser. CMS is already installed on the switch, and
no additional installation is required. From CMS, you can fully configure and
monitor a switch or switch clusters, display network topologies to gather link
information, and display switch images to modify switch- and port-level
settings. For more information, refer to the switch software configuration
guide on Cisco.com, the CMS, or the online help.
Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI)
•
The switch CLI is based on Cisco IOS software and is enhanced to support
desktop-switching features. You can fully configure and monitor the switch
and switch cluster members from the CLI. You can access the CLI either by
connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by
using Telnet from a remote management station. Refer to the Catalyst 3560
Switch Command Reference on Cisco.com for more information.
