Power-off operation
You can power on or power off a board through command lines to perform hot swapping
without interrupting services on the router.
Mster/slave switchover
The NE5000E supports the backup technology. The main control boards work in 1+1
backup mode, which is the precondition of the master/slave switchover in the system.
Device monitoring
In routine maintenance of the device, you can run display commands to view the working
status of the router. This helps maintenance personnel fast locate the fault during the
troubleshooting procedure.
Device restart
In some special cases, for example, in system upgrade, a router must be restarted so that
the configuration can take effect. In addition to being restarted after being powered off, the
NE5000E can be restarted through command lines.
Board reset
When a board on the device malfunctions and cannot automatically recover, it is
recommended that the board be reset.
