I have 3 3750-24TS-E and 2 3750G-24TS-E switches in a stack, each connected to their own RPS (RPS 675).
If power fails to each of the 5 switches in the stack, the individual RPSs kick-in and the indicator lights on the RPS show that back-up power is applied.
Great.
Now, when restore AC power to the switches the two different switch types respond differently. With the 3750 (non-Gig) switches I can take each RPS offline and then put them back online and the indicators go to green, indicating the 3750 switches are powered on their own. This happens without a reboot.
The 3750G switches, however, exhibit a different behavior; when I take the RPS offline after restoring AC power to the switches, as soon as I bring the RPS online the 3750G switch will reboot.
Does anyone know a way to restore AC to the 3750G switches and to reset the RPS 675 to indicate the switch is on AC power WITHOUT forcing a reboot of the affected switch?
Shouldn't the failback process be as glitch-free as the failover process? It's great that the RPS kicks-in and provides power, but having to reboot the switch to bring it back onto AC is an annoyance, since these switches are in a mission-critical workflow moving large quantities of uncompressed video. Not crippling, but still not an optimal situation. :)
Thanks in advance for any input!
