Cisco Rack Power
Hey guys,
I have a small rack of about 10 Cisco devices and two servers in my home lab. Until recently I just plug and unplug what i need in etc. But I am trying to get organized as I gear up for my CCIP and CCNP: Security (and maybe CCIE next year?).
Any recommendations for power management for a home lab?

You mean like a power switch for each device, or what exactly? I'm currently using the following to turn on or off devices separately:

I'm using APC AP9211 with 8 outlets that can be managed via network using telnet, web interface or snmp. Works quite well for me. Got it on Craigslist for ~$50.“You don’t become great by trying to be great.

besides the APC which are sometimes hard to find, I have had good luck with this brand. I have the older model without the LCD display on my own rack for over 5 years
