Overview of DFE-Gold Module Shutdown Procedure
The DFE‐Gold module s installed in a Matrix N3 or Matrix 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‐Gold 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‐Gold module in an operating system using the OFFLINE/
RESET switch shown in
Figure 4‐4 . There are two procedures to shut down a
DFE‐Gold 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.
