Shutting Down the ETEP

When the appliance powers up, all of the front panel LEDs illuminate (see Figure 33). The Alarm LED illuminates briefly and the diagnostic code LED displays 88 to verify that the diagnostic display segments are functioning. The power LED remains lit until the unit is powered off. The Power Supply LEDs illuminate for each operational power supply.

During the boot process the ET1000A cycles through its startup tests, and the corresponding diagnostic codes are displayed (see “Diagnostic Codes: ET0100A and ET1000A” on page 64). After the tests execute successfully, the diagnostic code display is solidly illuminated with code 00.

NOTE

During the boot process the ET1000A discards all traffic on its data ports. Once the appliance is operational, the default mode of operation passes all packets in the clear until you deploy security policies.

Shutting Down the ETEP

It is important that a proper system shutdown is performed prior to powering off the appliance. The shutdown command halts all running tasks on the ETEP and prepares it for being powered off. Failure to perform a shutdown may lead to file system corruption and potential appliance failure.

The ETEP remains in a shutdown state until the power is cycled. The shutdown state is indicated with an operational code on the status/diagnostic display as shown in Table 17.
