What command can I issue to see the current power (POE and System Power) on a Cisco 3650 Switch running IOS 3.07.04E.

Sh Env Power #shows me power supplies, not usage.

Sh Power Inline #show me the inline power consumption and usage.

Thanks

Power consumption on Cisco's new 3650 platform is very variable. It all depends on traffic flow, PoE and utilization of ports on the switch model. Cisco has made a Power Consumption table, which shows different usage for different scenarios. It's available via the provided link. Picture is for future reference. Remember to add your inline power of Access points, IP phones or cameras.

It is not possible to show the live power consumption via IOS.

  • Hi Cown, Thanks for the response. I am however looking for the command that shows the current power consumption and availability. – Max Aug 14 '17 at 6:57
  • @Max That is not possible, since the power consumption changes constantly with the IMIX flow. The only way you can get the actual current consumption is to use third party electrical power consumption meter connected to the switch power supply. That is also why Cisco has provided a Weighted average. – user36472 Aug 14 '17 at 6:59
  • That's a shame. I was looking for an equivelant to the "sh power available" command availabe on the 4506 series, which shoes current and available power consumpion. – Max Aug 14 '17 at 8:45
  • @Max Yeah it's pretty weird Cisco did not implement the option to check the live consumption on the 3650 series. I guess it could be a future option to be added? – user36472 Aug 14 '17 at 8:47

    @Max I just tried to enable EnergyWise with the following commands: Global config: energywise domain Cisco security shared-secret test1234 Interface config: int range gi1/0/1-24 <enter> energywise <enter> - I then tried to check usage: sh energywise usage children gave som totals, but it looks like the max for the switch is always 250W used. But the Access points give correct usage: Gi1/0/1 APXXXX.XXXX.XXXX 6.7 (W) – user36472 Aug 14 '17 at 9:10

I can't find any 3650's at the moment but I have a 3850 running 3.7.3E. Looks like it will tell you the actual consumption.
