Hi,
Due to maintenance work in the data center, I need to shut down two cisco WS-C6506-E. Both of them have FWSM modules installed and one of them also has a NAM module. Which is the best/safest way to shut them down? I was thinking in doing like this:
1- Shut down NAM module using hw-module module 4 shutdown command.
2- Shut down FWSM module using hw-module module 1 shutdown command.
3- Shut down the two power supplies of each switch. Is it right? Is it better to just unplugged the device?
If this is correct, how long should I wait beetween each of the steps? I've already checked that the NAM stops answering to ping very fast after issuing the hw-module module 4 shutdown command. However, I'm not sure if it's still doing things and I should wait before shutting down other modules or the chassis.
Once I want to turn it on again. Is it enough to turn on the power supplies or do the modules need to be turned on individually?
Thanks in advance.
