If you boot the router with fabric-required mode configured but without a Switch Fabric Module
installed, only the supervisor engine receives power; no switching modules power up.
When the router is operating with fabric-required mode configured and a Switch Fabric Module
installed, if you remove the switch fabric module or if it fails, the router removes power from all
switching modules; only the supervisor engine remains active.
When the router is operating with fabric-required mode configured and with redundant Switch
Fabric Modules installed, if you remove both switch fabric modules or if both fail, the router
removes power from all switching modules; only the supervisor engine remains active.
The d parameter is a delimiting character. You cannot use the delimiting character in the message.
The delimiter is a character of your choice—a pound sign (#), for example.
You can use the following tokens, in the form $(token), in the message text:
– $(hostname)—Displays the router's host name.
– $(domain)—Displays the router's domain name.
