Powering Off an ACX5000 Router
Before you power off an ACX5000 router:
•
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damage. See Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
•
Ensure that you do not need to forward traffic through the router.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to power off the router:
•
An ESD grounding strap
•
An external management device such as a PC
•
An RJ-45 to DB-9 rollover cable to connect the external management device to the
console port
To power off an ACX5000 router:
1. Connect to the router using one of the following methods:
•
Connect a management device to the console (CON) port on an ACX5000 router.
For instructions about connecting a management device to the console (CON) port,
see “Connecting an ACX5000 Router to a Management Console” on page 121.
•
You can shut down the ACX5000 router from a management device on your
out-of-band management network. For instructions about connecting a
management device to the management (CO or C1) port, see “Connecting an
ACX5000 Router to a Network for Out-of-Band Management” on page 122.
2. Shut down Junos OS from the external management device by issuing the request
system halt operational mode CLI command. This command shuts down the router
gracefully and preserves system state information. A message appears on the console,
confirming that the operating system has halted.
You see the following output (or something similar, depending on the hardware being
shut down) after entering the command:
