Overview of DFE Module Shutdown Procedure

Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Switch

Caution: This method of shutting down a DFE module is not recommended except as a last resort, because all processes currently running on the module will be interrupted resulting in loss of frames.

Precaución: No se recomienda utilizar este método para apagar los módulos DFE- Gold. Recurra a él sólo como último recurso, puesto que interrumpe todos los procesos del módulo en funcionamiento, lo que podría resultar pérdidas de frames.

To reset a DFE module without it performing an orderly shutdown routine,

press and hold the OFFLINE/RESET switch for approximately 6 seconds.

Pulling any DFE module out of the chassis before it has been shut down is not recommended. The only safe time to pull a module out of the chassis is after the completion of a shutdown and the management LED is flashing amber/off.
