Cisco IOS Release Notes for Cisco EnergyWise, EnergyWise Version 2.7
October 15, 2012
If your switch is stacking-capable (for example, a Catalyst 3750-X, 3750-E, or 3750), the term switch refers to both a standalone switch and a switch stack unless otherwise noted.
These release notes include important information about Cisco EnergyWise Version 2.7 and any limitations, restrictions, and documentation updates that apply to Cisco devices running EnergyWise. To verify that these release notes are correct for your switch, see the "Supported Devices" section.
For information about a specific Cisco device running Cisco EnergyWise Version 2.7, see the release notes for the Cisco IOS software running on your device. To verify that these release notes are correct for your switch, use the show version privileged EXEC command.
For the list of EnergyWise Version 2.7 documentation, see the "Related Documentation" section.
For information about this warning, see the "Importance Notice" appendix in the Cisco EnergyWise IOS Configuration Guide, EnergyWise Version 2.7 on Cisco.com.

New Features
•
Enhanced output for the show energywise children privileged EXEC command for Catalyst 6500 switches running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SY and EnergyWise Version 2.7. The output displays all the line cards in the system as separate EnergyWise entities. For more information, see Appendix B of the software configuration guide.
•
An EnergyWise query to analyze and display domain information.
•
Wake on LAN (WoL) to remotely power on and off a WoL-capable PC.
•
The clear energywise endpoints [all | cached] privileged EXEC command to remove either operational or nonoperational (cached) EnergyWise endpoints.
•
EnergyWise plug and play to enable endpoint discovery without domain configuration.
•
EnergyWise return-to-caller to let domain members forward responses directly to the management station without the responses passing through another domain member.
•
When you use the EnergyWise endpoint software development kit (SDK) version 1.2 or the management application programming interface (API) version 1.2, we recommend that Catalyst 3750-X, 3750-E, 3750v2, 3750, 3560-X, 3560-E, 3560, 2960-S, and 2960 switches run Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE.
•
Cisco Unified IP Phone 6900, 7900, 8900, and 9900 series support the Cisco EnergyWise Power Save Plus mode. You can use this feature to configure the phone to sleep (power down) and wake (power up). To use this feature, your system should include an EnergyWise controller, such as a Cisco switch with the EnergyWise feature enabled. The following switches support this feature:
–
Catalyst 6500 series switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXJ.
–
Catalyst 4500 series switches running Cisco IOS Releases 3.2.0 SG and 15.0(2)SG.
–
Catalyst 2960, 2960-S, 3560, 3560-E, 3560-X, 3750, 3750-E, and 3750-X series switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE1.

Limitations and Restrictions
![]()
Note
Prior development of the Cisco EnergyWise feature set has been noted and distinguished through a series of EnergyWise phases. For these Release Notes and for all future EnergyWise documentation, feature set development will be noted and distinguished through EnergyWise versions. For current reference, EnergyWise Phase 2 is EnergyWise Version 2.6 and EnergyWise Phase 2.5 is EnergyWise Version 2.7.
You should review this section before you begin working with EnergyWise. These are known limitations that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround.
•
EnergyWise Version 2.7 (formerly Phase 2.5) is not backward-compatible EnergyWise Phase 1.
•
EnergyWise Version 2.6 (formerly Phase 2) is not backward-compatible with EnergyWise Phase 1.
•
EnergyWise Version 2.6 (formerly Phase 2) does not support IPv6.
•
The Cisco EnergyWise software development kit (SDK) or the management application programming interface (MAPI) Version 1.2, also referred to as the EnergyWise toolkit Version 1.2, is compatible with Cisco EnergyWise Specification rel2_7. We recommend that you use the SDK or MAPI Specification rel2_7 with domain members running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE. The toolkit Version 1.2 is not backward-compatible with Cisco EnergyWise Specification rel2_5 or Cisco EnergyWise Specification rel2_6 (CSCtn68547).
Open Caveats
•
CSCti19539
If you use the energywise interface configuration command, not all EnergyWise interface configurations revert to the default values.
Use one of these workarounds:
–
Set each one of the interface configuration parameters to the default value.
–
Use the no energywise domain global configuration command to remove the EnergyWise configuration. When you configure a new EnergyWise domain, default values are assigned to all parameters.
