Overview of DFE-Gold Module Shutdown Procedure

The DFE‐Gold 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‐Gold 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‐Gold module in an operating system using the OFFLINE/
RESET switch shown in Figure
module.
