The procedure to disable/enable a slot card on APX/TNT

. Use “show” command to address which slot you want to disable/enable(in this case, we use slot 1 as example) slot 1;

> show

Shelf 1 ( standalone ):

Reqd Oper Slot Type

{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 } UP UP 8e1-card

{ shelf-1 slot-2 0 } UP UP 8e1-card

{ shelf-1 slot-3 0 } UP UP 8e1-card

{ shelf-1 slot-4 0 } UP UP ether3nd-card

{ shelf-1 slot-5 0 } UP UP madd2-card

……..

2. Get into the corresponding slot-admin profile

> dir slot-admin

15 09/09/2009 08:44:48 { shelf-1 slot-1 0 }

15 09/09/2009 08:44:48 { shelf-1 slot-2 0 }

15 09/09/2009 08:44:48 { shelf-1 slot-3 0 }

15 09/09/2009 08:44:48 { shelf-1 slot-4 0 }

……..

> read slot-admin {1 1 0}

SLOT-ADMIN/{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 } read

> list

[in SLOT-ADMIN/{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 }]

slot-address* = { shelf-1 slot-1 0 }

reqd-state = reqd-state-up

3. Change the state as you want:

> set reqd-stat ?

reqd-state:

The required operational state of the slot. Changing this value initiates a state change. The change is complete when the current state changes to match the reqd-state. this value is initialized from the administrative state of the slot at system startup.

Enumerated field, values:

reqd-state-down: The addressed device is required to be in the down, non-operational state.

reqd-state-up: The addressed device is required to be in a normal operating state.

reqd-state-maint: The addressed device is required to be in a non-operational maintenance state.

> set reqd-stat =reqd-state-down

> write

4. Use “show” to double-confirm whether the change is activated:

> show
