Information About GIR
You can use Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR) to put a switch in maintenance mode in order to perform
debugging or an upgrade. When switch maintenance is complete, you can return the switch to normal mode.
When you place the switch in maintenance mode, all protocols are isolated from the network. When normal
mode is restored, all the protocols are brought back up.
In Cisco NX-OS Release 7.1(0)N1(1), the default mode for GIR is “shutdown”. When you place the switch
in maintenance mode, all protocols are gracefully brought down and all physical ports are shut down. When
normal mode is restored, all the protocols and ports are brought back up. The following protocols are supported:
