A suggestion on how to reduce power consumption ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Subject: power saving tip on GSRs - pls fwd To: sean@donelan.com From: Eric Osborne <eosborne@cisco.com> Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 09:42:59 -0400 I don't think I have nanog-post capability, so I'm passing this on to you in order to share with the rest of the world; please pass on as you like. For folks concerned about power usage (i.e. buildings near WTC running on generator), 'hw-module slot <x> shut' on GSRs will power down a given linecard. This is useful for those whose LCs are installed but not in use. Of course, don't use this if you have one or more ports in use on an LC. 'sh led' will then show 'SLOT x : DOWNADMN' 'no hw-mod slot <x> shut' turns power back on. Supported command, too, unlike the 'test ...' sequence that does almost the same thing. Share and enjoy. eric ------- End of forwarded message -------
