To halt the Firewall iSD processes:
1 From Passport console, select a Firewall iSD to work using the command:
Set_console <slot#> <mini slot#>
For example: Set_console 3 1
2 From the SDM console, use the following commands:
Main# /boot/halt
Confirm action 'halt'? [y/n]: y
Power down
3 Repeat step 1 and step 2 to halt the Firewall iSD process for each hard
disk on the SDM board.
Once the disk drives have powered down, the CPU LEDs are off. Port LEDs
and the Online LED stay solid green.
To reboot a Firewall iSD on which you have halted the disk drive processes:
1 From the iSD console, enter the command:
PP8600:5/config/naap# minislot-state disable 10 4
The CPU LEDs are off. Port LEDs and the Online LED stay solid amber.
2 From the iSD console, enter the command:
PP8600:5/config/naap# minislot-state enable 10 4
The Firewall iSD restarts, and all LEDs are normal again.
Hardware and platform limitations (for Passport 3.7.x)
• You cannot configure more than five static routes on the network
management interface. (Q00694618)
• A minimum of 128MB is required to support the Passport 8600 Series switch
software Release 3.7.6. An upgrade kit of 256MB is provided in the Nortel
price list; this upgrade kit is not required for the 8691SF. However, because
different memory sizes (for example, 256MB for the 8690SF and 8692SF;
128MB for the 8691SF) in the same chassis can cause unpredictable
behaviors, Nortel Networks does not recommend nor support a mixed
configuration (8690/8691/8692) in a chassis. (Q00723245)
