Cat6500 IOS: how to power-up a linecard

[p.calcaterra]

Hi,

I am managing a couple of Cat 6506 IOS.

I can reset or shutdown a linecard (e.g. a NAM) using the "hw-module" command; does exist any command to power up a shutted down line card?

Best regards.

If you enter the 'hw-module shutdown' command to shut down the module, you will have to enter the 'no power enable module' command and the 'power enable module' command to restart (power down and then power up) the module.

Hope that helps - pls rate posts that help.

You can power down a module using the

no power enable module (slot) command

Power the module back up with the

power enable module (slot) command

Hope this helps answer your question.

Use of the CLI to Power Modules Up or Down

You can issue one of these commands in order to power down a properly working module from the command-line interface (CLI):

• Catalyst OS (CatOS)— set module power down module_number

• Cisco IOS® Software— no power enable module slot

The module is marked as power-down in the Status field of the show module command output. In order to verify if adequate power is available in the system in order to turn the power on for a module that was previously powered down, issue one of these commands:

• CatOS— set module power up module_number

• Cisco IOS Software— power enable module slot

If there is not enough power available, the module status changes from power-down to power-deny.
