Managing the device
You can perform these management tasks for the router:
• Enable and disable a DC power source, if necessary.
• Display status and temperatures of all hardware components.
• Display the Syslog conguration and static and dynamic buers.
• Disable and re-enable power to interface modules.
Disabling and re-enabling power to interface modules
You can disable power and re-enable power to all interface modules, or to a specied interface module using the power-o command in
the CLI, as shown in the following example:
device# power-off lp all
Syntax:
power-o lp [all|slot-number ]
• all - disables power to all interface modules
• slot-number - disables power to the interface module in the specied slot. You can specify 1-4 for 4-slot routers, 1-8 for 8-
slot routers, 1-16 for 16-slot routers, and 1-32 for 32-slot routers.
NOTE
It is recommended that you do not disable power to interface modules during a software upgrade. If you try to disable power
during a software upgrade, the following message will be displayed:Warning: There is an outstanding software
download.Do you want to continue ? (enter "y" or "n") Type "n " and wait until the upgrade is complete.
To re-enable power to all interfaces or to a specic interface, enter the power-on lp command, as shown in this example:
device# power-on lp
Syntax: power-on lp [slot-number|all ]
• all - enables power to all interface modules
