Powering Off an EX8200 Switch

Before you power off the switch:

•Ensure that you understand how to prevent electrostatic discharge damage. See “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX Series Switches” on page 292.

•Ensure that you do not need to forward traffic through the switch.

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to power off the switch:

•An electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

•An external management device such as a PC

•A cable to connect the external management device to the console port (CON) or management port (MGMT) on the master Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) module in an EX8208 switch or on the master Routing Engine (RE) module in an EX8216 switch.

To power off a switch:

1.Connect a management device to the master SRE module in an EX8208 switch or to the master RE module in an EX8216 switch. For connecting a management device to the console (CON) port, see “Connecting an EX Series Switch to a Management Console” on page 181. For connecting a management device to the management (MGMT) port, see “Connecting an EX Series Switch to a Network for Out-of-Band Management” on page 187.

2.If the switch has two SRE or RE modules, shut down the backup SRE or RE module first. (If your switch has only one SRE or RE module, skip to Step 2.) From the external management PC connected to the master SRE or RE module, issue the request system halt other-routing-engine operational mode CLI command.
