When the device is operating, remove the active MPU only when both MPUs are operating stably. To view system stability and status information, execute the display system stable state command. |
Pressing the RESET button on an MPU will reset the MPU forcibly. This operation can be performed only by qualified maintenance personnel when a severe system failure occurs. |
|
Handling transceiver modules |
Do not stare into any open apertures of operating transceiver modules or optical fiber connectors. |
Handling cables |
Network cables are used for the communication between the device and the maintenance terminal. Network cable connection or disconnection can be performed only by qualified maintenance personnel for service adjustment as scheduled and they must be aware of the impact on the network. |
Handling power supplies |
Do not hot swap power supplies. |
Operate the power switches on the PDUs in the cabinet only when upgrading or expanding the device, replacing the components in the device, or when a severe system failure occurs. |
|
For devices that have two power switches, to power off the device for maintenance, make sure the two power switches are both turned off. |

Command |
Description |
Usage guidelines |
File system management |
delete [ /unreserved ] file |
Deletes a file. |
The delete /unreserved file command deletes a file permanently. The file cannot be restored. The delete file command (without /unreserved) moves a file to the recycle bin unless it is executed on the default MDC to delete a file from a non-default MDC. |
File system management |
format |
Formats a file system. |
Formatting a file system permanently deletes all files in the file system. If a startup configuration file exists in the file system, back up the file if necessary. |
Device management |
reboot |
Reboots the device. |
A reboot might interrupt network services. Use the force keyword only when the device fails or a reboot command without the force keyword cannot perform a reboot correctly. A reboot command with the force keyword might result in file system corruption, because it does not perform data protection. |
Common interface settings |
shutdown |
Shuts down an interface. |
Use this command with caution. This command disables the interface from forwarding or receiving traffic. |
