Configuring Automatic Module Shutdown

When you enable automatic module shutdown, you can manage your network connectivity issues. A
module that frequently resets itself can disrupt traffic load balancing. By enabling the automatic module
shutdown, you can disable a module that continually resets due to any hardware or software problems
and limit the number of times that the module resets itself before shutting down completely.
You can also shut down a module manually using the set module disable or the set module power down
commands.
After the module shuts down, you must reenable the module manually.
By default, automatic module shutdown is disabled. When you enable automatic module shutdown, the
default is that the module can reset itself three times within two minutes.
You must configure these two parameters before an automatic shutdown can occur:

ErrDisable Reason
-------------------
Frequency—Allows you to specify the threshold value for an automatic module shutdown. When
the number of resets reaches the value that is assigned to this option, the Ethernet module can
perform an automatic shutdown.
Period—Allows you to specify the time period in which the number of resets must occur. The period
is measured from one of these conditions:
– When the switch first comes up
When the supervisor engine performs a switchover
–
When the Ethernet module is powered up
–
When the module's autoshut counters are cleared
