The Catalyst 2980G-A is supported by an optional external Redundant Power System (RPS) 675. The Cisco RPS 300

(1RU) supports power supply redundancy for up to six connected devices until one of those devices requires backup

power. The RPS 675 also supports the Catalyst 3550 and 2950 Series of switches and additional switches and routers.

The Catalyst 2980G-A is managed by the powerful CiscoWorks2000 network-management products (option). These

management products are focused on such day-to-day network operations’ functions as:

• Checking on device availability and configuration changes

• Provisioning of VLANs across multiple devices concurrently

• Representing Layer 2 networks both physically and logically

The Essentials product suite leverages the power of the intranet with browser-based access anywhere within the

network. Network managers can walk up to any browser console, identify who they are via the access control

interface, and immediately begin checking on the up-time of each device—the active software versions that are

running the Catalyst 2980G-A, and print a year 2000 compliant report. For drill–down, real-time device-status

information, the network operations staff members can launch the Cisco award-winning CiscoView application from

their fault-management station and, at a glance, check on the health of the power supplies, line cards, and the

operational status of each port.

For more sophisticated, networkwide information, network managers can launch the CiscoWorks for Switched

Internetworks (CWSI)-Campus product bundle which automatically discovers the physical and logical representations of

the Catalyst switch networks. This object-based discovery system offers detailed information on the location and type of

each switch within the network, the type of links that connect the switches, and integrity reports on the configurations

between each switch. This information is provided graphically within the topology interface with search-and-location

utilities. This topology interface offers a convenient launching point for other applications within CWSI-Campus,

including the Remote Monitoring-based traffic analysis application, the networkwide user-location application, and the

Virtual LAN (VLAN) application that displays the logical configuration and Spanning-Tree forwarding path information.

In summary, the Catalyst 2980G-A is a cost-effective, high-performance, high-density, feature-rich, Ethernet switch

ideally suited for customers requiring Layer 2 switching in increments of 80 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet desktop

connections with the safety of modular Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. Bandwidth, price/performance value, and

enterprise software protection are all available in a complete switch solution for the wiring closet.
