Best practice to shut down a router with SRE WAAS

[roy.simon]

Just want to get your opinion about shutting down a router that has WAAS on SRE module whether we'd better shut down the WAAS first or we can just simply turn off the router.

Please share your opinion on this.

I think most probably do the WAAS first, do a reload of the WAAS let it do a clean shutdown, then reload the router before the WAAS reloads, But we have had instances where the router shuts down ( power issuesat site) and it has not had any bad effects when it comes back up.
