    Configuring the Junos OS to Make an SFM Stay Offline

    By default, if you use the request chassis sfm CLI command to take a Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM) offline, the SFM attempts to restart when you enter a commit CLI command. To prevent a restart, you can configure an SFM to stay offline. This feature is useful for repair situations.

    To configure an SFM to stay offline, include the sfm statement at the [edit chassis] hierarchy level:

    [edit chassis]
    sfm slot-number {power off;}
    • slot number—Slot number in which the SFM is installed.
    • power off—Take the SFM offline and configure it to remain offline.

    For example, the following statement takes an SFM in slot 3 offline:

    [edit chassis]sfm 3 power off;

    Use the show chassis sfm CLI command to confirm the offline status:

    user@host# show chassis sfm
                     Temp    CPU Utilization (%) Memory Utilization (%)
    Slot    State    (C)     Total   Interrupt   DRAM (MB)   Heap   Buffer
    0       Online   34      2       0           64          16     47
    1       Online   38      2       0           64          16     47
    2       Online   42      2       0           64          16     47
    3       Offline --- Configured power off --- 
    

    To bring the SFM back online, delete the edit chassis sfm statement and then commit the configuration.
