Description

Power off the Routing Engines.

Note:

When you issue this command on an individual component in a QFabric system, you will receive a warning that says “Hardware-based members will halt, Virtual Junos Routing Engines will reboot.” If you want to halt only one member, use the member option. You cannot issue this command from the QFabric CLI.

Note:

For a standalone chassis (such as MX Series and PTX Series), the request to power off the system is applicable only to the Routing Engines. When you request to power off both Routing Engines, all the FPCs in the chassis shut down after approximately 10 minutes and the chassis fans run at full speed. The FPCs shut down because they no longer have communication with the Routing Engines and an Inter-Integrated Circuit (l2C) timeout occurred.

Note:

For the devices with Routing Engines RE-S-2x00x6, RE-PTX-2x00x8, and RE-S-2x00x8, this command is deprecated and might be removed completely in a future release.

On these devices, this command is replaced with the request vmhost power-off command which provides similar functionality.

Options

none	Power off the router or switch software immediately.
all-members	(QFX Series devices only) (Optional) Power off all members of the Virtual Chassis configuration.
at `time`	(Optional) Time at which to power off the software, specified in one of the following ways: `now`—Power off the software immediately. This is the default. `+minutes`—Number of minutes from now to power off the software. `yymmddhhmm`—Absolute time at which to power off the software, specified as year, month, day, hour, and minute. `hh:mm`—Absolute time on the current day at which to power off the software.
both-routing-engines	(Optional) Power off both Routing Engines at the same time.
in `minutes`	(Optional) Number of minutes from now to power off the software. This option is an alias for the `at +minutes` option.
junos	(EX Series and MX Series devices only) (Optional) Boot off Junos volume.
local	(EX4200 switches and MX Series devices only) (Optional) Power off the local Virtual Chassis member.
media (compact-flash \| disk \| removable-compact-flash \| usb)	(Optional) Boot medium for the next boot.
media (external \| internal)	(EX Series, MX Series, and QFX Series devices only) (Optional) Power off the boot media: `external`—Power off the external mass storage device. `internal`—Power off the internal flash device.
member `member-id`	(EX4200 and MX Series devices only) (Optional) Power off the specified member of the Virtual Chassis configuration. For EX4200 switches, replace `member-id` with a value from 0 through 9. For an MX Series Virtual Chassis, replace `member-id` with a value of 0 or 1.
message "`text`"	(Optional) Message to display to all system users before powering off the software.
no-forwarding	(MX series devices only) (Optional) No forwarding.
network	(EX Series and MX Series devices only) (Optional) Network boot through PXE.
oam	(Optional) Boot off OAM volume.
other-routing-engine	(Optional) Power off the other Routing Engine from which the command is issued. For example, if you issue the command from the primary Routing Engine, the backup Routing Engine is halted. Similarly, if you issue the command from the backup Routing Engine, the primary Routing Engine is halted.
slice `slice`	(EX Series and QFX Series switches only) (Optional) Power off a partition on the boot media. This option has the following suboptions: `1`—Power off partition 1. `2`—Power off partition 2. `alternate`—Reboot from the alternate partition.
