set autoshut
When the frequency threshold is reached and occurs within the defined period, the Ethernet module
automatically shuts down. The following is an example of the syslog message that displays:
%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 p er iod, the modu l e doe s n ot
automatically shut down. The following is an example of the syslog message that displays:
%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 Ethernet modules do no t syn ch ron ize wi th the st andby super vi sor
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 mo dule is powered d own by th e set autoshut
command, the output stays the same.
You do not have to enable automatic module shutdown in order to track the number of resets. Resets are
tracked even if you do not enable automatic module shutdown.
The runtime counters are cleared only for these co ndit ions:
•When you enter the clear autoshut command
•When the switch resets
•At module power up
•At supervisor engine switchover
Examples This example shows how to set the threshold number of ti mes that the specified module can reset itself:
Console> (enable) set autoshut frequency 4
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to set the period (in minutes) over which the fr eq ue ncy is valid:
Console> (enable) set autoshut period 3
Console> (enable)
