5.If the component you are removing belongs to the master host module and a second host module is installed, issue the following CLI command to switch mastership to the standby host module:

user@host> request chassis routing-engine master switch

If the Routing Engines are running JUNOS Release 6.0 or later and are configured for graceful switchover, the standby Routing Engine immediately assumes Routing Engine functions and there is no interruption to packet forwarding. Otherwise, packet forwarding halts while the standby Routing Engine becomes the master and the Packet Forwarding Engine components reset and connect to the new master Routing Engine. For information about configuring graceful switchover, see the section about Routing Engine redundancy in the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.

NOTE: Router performance might change if the standby Routing Engine’s configuration differs from the former master’s configuration. For the most predictable performance, configure the two Routing Engines identically, except for parameters unique to a Routing Engine, such as the hostname defined at the [edit system] hierarchy level and the management interface (fxp0 or equivalent) defined at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level.

To configure Routing Engine-specific parameters and still use the same configuration on both Routing Engines, include the appropriate configuration statements under the re0 and re1 statements at the [edit groups] hierarchy level and use the apply-groupsstatement. For instructions, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.

6.On the console or other management device connected to the Routing Engine you are removing, enter CLI operational mode and issue the following command. The command shuts down the Routing Engine cleanly, so its state information is preserved:

user@host> request system halt
