Guys,
I am looking at the power supply specifications on a Cisco 3750G-24PS and it is rated for 540W.
If you scroll down to the 100% throughput power consumption with the maximum number of PoE loads, the system power is 492W (switch power) + 370W (PoE power).
According to their datasheet, the numbers provided for 100% throughput switch power consumption and max PoE loads: "The numbers indicate the power consumed by a typical system (the switch and the corresponding PoE loads) under normal conditions.....Typically this power draw is realized when a switch is running 100 percent traffic load of 64 byte sized packets on all its ports and uplinks and also drawing 100 percent PoE load."
How can the system power draw be greater than the rating of the power supply?
