Overview
Figure 1-1 EnergyWise Network
• Management stations—Control applications and devices that use EnergyWise to monitor and
manage the power usage of domain members and end points. Management stations also send
queries.
Use the management application programming interface (API) to write a power management
application.
• Domain members—Cisco switches, routers, and network devices that use power. They forward
messages across an EnergyWise domain consisting of other Cisco devices and end points. They also
forward and reply to queries from the management station and other domain members and aggregate
power-usage information from the end points.
A domain is treated as one unit of power management and is similar to a network-management
community.
• End points—Devices that use power. They only respond to queries.
Use the end-point software development kit (SDK) to implement an agent or client that participates
as an EnergyWise end point.
Domain members and end points can receive power from an AC power source, a DC power source, or a
power supply.
