Power Off a QFX5100 Device
Before you power off a QFX5100 switch:
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. See Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
Ensure that you do not need to forward traffic through the switch.
Use the following procedure to turn off power on a QFX5100 device that is in standalone mode, a member in a QFX Virtual Chassis, or either a spine device or a leaf device in a Virtual Chassis Fabric. QFX5100 devices that are configured either as Node devices or as an Interconnect device in a QFabric system running OS Junos release 14.1 or later, must use a different procedure and CLI to ensure there is no traffic loss. See Adding or Replacing a Node Device in a QFabric Node Group .
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to power off the switch:
An ESD grounding strap
An external management device such as a PC
An RJ-45 to DB-9 rollover cable to connect the external management device to the console port
