[j-nsp] EX-RPS configuration

[Jerry Jones]

Couple ideas to try.

You say switches have internal DC power so I guess there is no POE. If so then when you get a switch up I would suggest setting mode to multi on the RPS with 
request-redundant-power-system multi-backup

But first how about disconnecting all but one cable from the RPS. What is the condition of LEDs?

I assume you have done at least one commit on each switch?

Jerry,

Most annoying thing - it does not provide redundant power to the switches. I could live with other problems, but this one is kind of a deal breaker.
I have all 3 AC PS inserted. I have 4 DC outlets connected to 4 EX3300 switches. I have console port on RPS connected to console server and I can get access to some crippled shell inside it.
when I issue command "show chassis redundant-power-system" on the switch with DC connected to RPS, I got following answer:
"error: No RPS connected (chassis-control)"

Only gotcha I have heard of is to use the center slot for the first power supply.

What specifically is it not doing?

Hello all,

Is anyone here who has experience with EX-RPS - redundant power supply for
EX switches?
I'd like to ask some questions/directions .

From what I see - basically they are just DC converters with some minimal
set of knobs.
Documentation is virtually non-existent. Main idea I got from the site - it
should just work when you plug it in. But guess what -  it doesn't. It
looks like I have missed some very simple step. The one that was considered
obvious to the guy who was creating the manual :)

thanks
nick
