Overview of DFE-Platinum Module Shutdown Procedure

DFE‐Platinum modules installed in a Matrix N3, Matrix N7, or Matrix E7 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‐Platinum 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‐Platinum module in an operating system using the OFFLINE/
RESET switch shown in Figure
