Hello Dina,
actually there is no shutdown option.
Verify that you saved the configuration and then you can power off the switch
Hope to help

i just thought with all of the processing done on that switch that should have a procedure like at least for an example shutting the ports or something
and thanks alot for your fast reply

Hi Dina,
There are no physical prerequisites before shutdown process , but if you are using this switch as a service switch , there might be some problems with clients that are connected to the switch , after you "power on". Make sure that you have the backup of the current configuration. Most of the problems after reboot are duplex problems , so I would recommend getting a port status output before power off. Also mac addresses and arp table might be a necessity if you encounter any connectivity issues. It would be very helpful to figure out the old port , vlan etc.
