This command does not work on supervisor slots nor on any I/O slot that currently has a powered-up
module.
Note
Before You Begin
Verify that either the I/O slot is empty or the I/O module installed in the slot is powered down.
Procedure
Clear the running configuration by using the
purge module slot_number running-config
command.
Example:
switch#
purge module 1 running-config
For example, suppose you create an IP storage configuration with a 48-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet I/O module
in slot 3 of Switch A. This module uses an IP address. You decide to remove this I/O module and move it to
Switch B, and you no longer need the IP address. If you try to configure this unused IP address, you will
receive an error message that prevents you from proceeding with the configuration. In this case, you need to
enter the
purge module 3 running-config
command to clear the old configuration in Switch A before using
the IP address.
Shut Down or Power Up an I/O Module
You can shutdown or power up an I/O module by using the
poweroff module
or
no poweroff module
command to specify the module by its slot number in the chassis.
Procedure
Step 1
Start the configuration mode by entering the
configure terminal
command.
Example:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
Shutdown the module by entering the [
no
]
shutdown module slot_number
command.
Example:
switch(config)#
poweroff module 1
switch(config)#
Example:
switch(config)#
no poweroff module 1
switch(config)#
