Basic navigation 95
When the shutdown command is initiated in the CLI, the following message
appears:
Shutdown (y/n) ?
Enter y at this prompt to shut down the switch.
The following warning message then appears:
Warning the switch/stack has been set to reboot in <xx>
minutes. Current configuration has been saved, no further
configuration changes can be saved until reboot occurs or
’shutdown cancel’ command is issued.
The syntax for shutdown command is:
shutdown [force] [minutes-to-wait <1-60>] [cancel]
Once the shutdown command is initiated, all existing and subsequent
Console Interface sessions display the following message:
Stack will reset in <xxxx> seconds.
While existing CLI sessions do not receive a warning message, all
subsequent CLI sessions display the following message:
The shutdown process is in progress. It is safe to poweroff
the stack. Configuration changes will not be saved.
Shutdown has blocked the flash. Autoreset in <xxxx> seconds.
ATTENTION
You can disable switch ports that are trunk members, if you choose to disable
them one by one. If you choose to disable all ports of the unit or stack, the
changes cannot have effect on the ports belonging to MLTs.
Neither web-based management nor Device Manager receive any shutdown
warning messages.
Table 14 "shutdown command parameters and variables" (page
95) describes the parameters and variables for the shutdown command.
