Powering Off the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Safely
Using this command saves the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration
mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload
the router.
If you are using the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, see the caution notice in the “Powering Off the Cisco ASR
1000 Series Router Safely” section on page 13-10.
Powering Off the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Safely
This section explains how to shut down the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router. It is recommended that before
turning off all power to the chassis, you issue the reload command. This insures that the operating
system cleans up all the file systems. After the reload operation is complete, then the Cisco ASR 1000
Series Router can be powered off safely.
Caution If you are going to power cycle a Cisco ASR 1013 Router, we recommend that you first perform a
graceful reload on the router. Power cycling the router without first performing a graceful reload might
cause a loss of data stored in the NVRAM. In other words, the configuration file might be lost. Note that
this is not observed when a power failure occurs because each active power supply in the two power
supply zones is power cycled at the same time during a power failure. If there is a chance that the router
might be power cycled without a graceful reload, we recommend that you use the boot config
file-system:configuration-file nvbypass command to specify a file system other than the NVRAM for
storing the configuration file. The following are examples:
Router(config)#
boot config harddisk:config_file.cfg nvbypass
Router(config)# boot config bootflash:configuration_data.cfg nvbypass
To remove power from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router safely, follow this procedure and see the
examples:
Step 1 Slip on the ESD-preventive wrist strap that was included in the accessory kit.
Step 2 Enter the reload command.
Step 3 Confirm the reload command.
Router# reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]

with reload chassis code
Step 4 After confirming the reload command, wait until the system bootstrap message displays before powering
off the system.
