Chapter 4 Configuring Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet Switching
Setting the Port Configuration
When the frequency threshold is reached and occurs within the defined period, the Ethernet module
automatically shuts down and this sample syslog message is displayed:
%SYS-5-MOD_AUTOSHUT: Module 2 shutdown automatically, reset 4 times in last 5
minutes due to inband failure
When the frequency threshold is reached and occurs outside the defined period, the module does not
automatically shut down and this sample syslog message is displayed:
%%SYS-4-MOD_AUTOSHUT_SLOW:Module 1 reset frequency exceeded threshold but over 46
mins. Hence NOT powering down module
The run-time variable states for the Ethernet module do not synchronize with the standby supervisor
engine. The output of the show autoshut command on a standby supervisor engine does not track with
the number of resets or the reasons for the resets. If the module is powered down by the autoshut
command, the output stays the same.
You do not have to enable an automatic module shutdown in order to track the number of resets. You can
track resets even if you do not enable an automatic module shutdown.
The runtime counters are cleared only for these conditions:
• When you enter the clear autoshut command
• When the switch resets
• At module power up
• At supervisor engine switchover
Note An automatic module shutdown is supported on Ethernet modules only.
To enable and configure an automatic module shutdown, perform one of these tasks in privileged mode:
Task Command
Enable an automatic module shutdown on a
module.
set module autoshut enable mod num
Disable an automatic module shutdown on a
module.
set module autoshut disable mod num
Set the threshold of the number of times that the
module can reset itself.
set autoshut frequency num
Set the period (in minutes) over which the
frequency is valid.
set autoshut period minutes
Clear the run-time counters on a specific module. clear autoshut counters mod num
Reset the autoshut frequency to the default
setting.
clear autoshut frequency
Reset the autoshut period to the default setting. clear autoshut period
Display the automatic module shutdown
configuration and current status information.
