Shut Down the Module
Shutting down the module software prepares the module to be safely powered off without losing
configuration data. To gracefully shut down the module, enter one of the following commands at the
ASA CLI. In multiple context mode, perform this procedure in the system execution space.
Note If you reload the ASA, the module is not automatically shut down, so we recommend shutting down the
module before reloading the ASA.

Session to the Software Module From the ASA
Use the ASA FirePOWER CLI to configure basic network settings and to troubleshoot the module.
To access the ASA FirePOWER software module CLI from the ASA, you can session from the ASA.
(You cannot session to a hardware module running on a 5585-X.)
You can either session to the module (using Telnet) or create a virtual console session. A console session
might be useful if the control plane is down and you cannot establish a Telnet session. In multiple context
mode, session from the system execution space.
Hardware module (ASA 5585-X):
hw-module module 1 shutdown
Software module (all other models):
