Nortel Networks 2500 Series manual Shutdown command parameters and variables

Basic navigation 95

When the shutdown command is initiated in the CLI, the following message appears:

Shutdown (y/n) ?

Enter y at this prompt to shut down the switch.

The following warning message then appears:

Warning the switch/stack has been set to reboot in <xx> minutes. Current configuration has been saved, no further configuration changes can be saved until reboot occurs or ’shutdown cancel’ command is issued.

The syntax for shutdown command is:

shutdown [force] [minutes-to-wait <1-60>] [cancel]

Once the shutdown command is initiated, all existing and subsequent Console Interface sessions display the following message:

Stack will reset in <xxxx> seconds.

While existing CLI sessions do not receive a warning message, all subsequent CLI sessions display the following message:

The shutdown process is in progress. It is safe to poweroff the stack. Configuration changes will not be saved. Shutdown has blocked the flash. Autoreset in <xxxx> seconds.

ATTENTION

You can disable switch ports that are trunk members, if you choose to disable them one by one. If you choose to disable all ports of the unit or stack, the changes cannot have effect on the ports belonging to MLTs.

Neither web-based management nor Device Manager receive any shutdown warning messages.

Table 14 "shutdown command parameters and variables" (page

95)describes the parameters and variables for the shutdown command.
