disable slot
disable slot <slot> {offline}
Description
Disables slot and leaves that module in a power down state.
Syntax Description
Default
Enabled.
Usage Guidelines
This command allows the user to disable a slot. When the user types this command, the I/O card in
that particular slot number is brought down, and the slot is powered down. The LEDs on the card go
OFF.
A disabled slot can be re-enabled using the
enable slot
command. When the slot is re-enabled, the
software on the I/O module is updated to match the software on the primary MSM.
The
show slot
command, if invoked after the user disables the slot, shows this slot state as “Power
Off/Disabled.”
If there is no I/O card present in a slot when the user disables the slot, the slot still goes to the
“Disable” state. If a card is inserted in a slot that has been disabled, the card does not come up and
stays in the “Power Off/Disabled” state until the slot is enabled by using the
enable slot
command.

If you do not save the configuration before you do a switch reboot, the slot will be re-enabled upon
reboot. If you save the configuration after disabling a slot, the slot will remain disabled after a reboot.

to that slot.
