Managing the device

You can perform these management tasks for the router:

•Enable and disable a DC power source, if necessary.

•Display status and temperatures of all hardware components.

•Display the Syslog configuration and static and dynamic buffers.

•Disable and re-enable power to interface modules

Enabling and disabling a DC Power Source

To block the router from recognizing a DC power source (and as a result, enabling the device to recognize an AC power source), enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:

Brocade(config)# no use-dc-power

Syntax: no use-dc-power

Disabling and re-enabling power to interface modules

You can disable power and module using the power-off

re-enable power to all interface modules, or to a specified interface command in the CLI, as shown in the following example:

Brocade# power-off lp all

Syntax: power-off lp [all <slot-number>]

•all - disables power to all interface modules

•<slot number> - disables power to the interface module in the specified slot. You can specify 1-4 for 4-slot routers, 1-8 for 8-slot routers, 1-16 for 16-slot routers, and 1-32 for 32-slot routers.

NOTE

It is recommended that you do not disable power to interface modules during a software upgrade. If you try to disable power during a software upgrade, the following message will be displayed:

Warning: There is an outstanding software download.

Do you want to continue ? (enter “y” or “n”)

Type “n” and wait until the upgrade is complete.

To re-enable power to all interfaces or to a specific interface, enter the power-on lp command, as shown in this example:

Brocade# power-on lp

Syntax: power-on lp [all <slot-number>]
