Overview of DFE Module Shutdown Procedure

The DFE modules installed in a Matrix E7,Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, 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 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
• Recommended shutdown procedure ("Recommended Shutdown Procedure Using
OFFLINE/RESET Switch" on page 4‐8)
• Last resort shutdown procedure (not recommended)
