Overview of DFE Module Shutdown Procedure
The DFE module s installed in a Matrix N3, N5, or N7 chassis are interdependent and
operate under a single IP address as a single, distributed switch system (hardware,
databases, and persistent storage). In this operating environment, the DFE module must
shut down in an orderly fashion to ensure that the other modules in the system and other
devices on the network are notified of the impending change. The device(s) can then make
intelligent decisions and stabilize the network before the change is made; thereby
increasing network availability.
You can shut down a DFE module in an operating system using the OFFLINE/RESET
switch shown in
Figure 4‐2 . There are two procedures to shut down a DFE module.
• Recommended shutdown procedure (page 4‐10)
• Last resort shutdown procedure (not recommended) (page 4‐10)
Caution: Do not remove a DFE module from an operating chassis system before reading
the following information and instructions.
Precaución: Antes de retirar los módulos DFE del chasis en funcionamiento, lea las
siguientes instrucciones y la información suministrada.
