How to shutdown one module in 6513 switch

[khaderbasha]

Hi,

There is a need to shut down ports on a blade before a change. Instead of shutting each port down, I want to bring the entire module down, perform change and bring the module up after my change. I prefer not to make any configuration changes to individual ports, do not want to use interface range command either. Any help is much appreciated.

Cat 6513 Switch

IOS (tm) c6sup2_rp Software (c6sup2_rp-PK2SV-M), Version 12.1(23)E2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Module to shutdown:

WS-X6516-GE-TX

hw-module module (mod #)

But, I think the Interface-range command with a Shut, no shut, would be safer. Even though it has been rare to happen, I have done this command on a single module and have had the switch loose adjacency with other routers for a second or two. The 6500 reconnected back very quickly, but it was long enough for some of our clustered servers to failover.

I suspect that the rebooting of the module takes a lot of processing time away from the sup engine.

Hi,

If you want power down the module,

You can view this, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_command_reference_chapter09186a00801026f8.html#wp1047369

into the paragraph: power enable.

I hope this is your objective.

Best regards.

Massimiliano.
