Disabling and reenabling power to the interface modules
If needed, you can disable power to a specified interface module and then reenable it. For example,
to disable power to the interface module in chassis slot 1, enter the following command at the
Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# power-off lp 1
Syntax: power-off lp <slot-number>
The <slot-number> parameter indicates the chassis slot number for which you are disabling the
power. You can specify slots 1 – 4 for BigIron RX-4, 1 – 8 for BigIron RX-8 or 1 – 16 for BigIron
RX-16.
For example, to reenable power to the interface module in chassis slot 1, enter the following
command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# power-on lp 1
Syntax: power-on lp <slot-number>
The <slot-number> parameter indicates the chassis slot number for which you are re-enabling the
power. You can specify slots 1 – 4 for BigIron RX-4, 1 – 8 for BigIron RX-8 or 1 – 16 for BigIron
RX-16.
Disabling and reenabling power to the switch fabric modules
If needed, you can disable power to a specified switch fabric module and then reenable it. For
example, to disable power to the SFM, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of
the CLI:
BigIron RX# power-off snm 1
Syntax: power-off snm <number>
The <number> parameter indicates the switch fabric module number for which you are disabling
the power. You can specify slots 0 – 4.
For example, to reenable power to the switch fabric module, enter the following command at the
Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# power-on snm 1
Syntax: power-on snm < number>
The < number> parameter indicates the SFM number for which you are reenabling the power. You
can specify 0 – 4.
NOTE
If you remove a SFM without powering off the SFM with the power-off command, the data in transit
is lost.
