Purging Module Configuration

Purging Module Configuration
Issue the purge module slot running-config command from EXEC mode to delete the configuration in
a specific module. Once this command is issued, the running configuration is cleared for the specified
slot. This command does not work on supervisor modules or on any slot that currently has a module.
This command only works on an empty slot (where the specified module once resided).
The purge module command clears the configuration for any module that previously existed in a slot
and has since been removed. While the module was in that slot, some parts of the configuration may have
been stored in the running configuration and cannot be reused (for example, IP addresses), unless it is
cleared from the running configuration.
For example, suppose you create an IP storage configuration with an IPS module in slot 3 in Switch A.
This module uses IP address 10.1.5.500. You decide to remove this IPS module and move it to Switch
B, and you no longer need the IP address10.1.5.500. If you try to configure this unused IP address, you
will receive an error message that prevents you from proceeding with the configuration. In this case, you
need to issue the purge module 3 running-config command to clear the old configuration in Switch A
before proceeding with using this IP address.
Powering Off Switching Modules
By default, all switching modules are configured to be in the power up state.
To power off a module, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# poweroff module 1
switch(config)#
switch(config)# no poweroff module 1
switch(config)#
