Managing the Switch
Shutting Down or Starting Up a Module
You can shut down or power up a module by using the poweroff module or no poweroff module command
to specify the module by its slot number in the chassis.
To determine the slot number for a module, use the show inventory command.

Step 1
Use the configure terminal to enter the global configuration mode.
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
Shut down (or alternatively power up) a specific module by entering the [no] poweroff module slot_number command.
Example:
switch(config)# poweroff module 3
switch(config)#
Example:
switch(config)# no poweroff module 3

switch# purge module 4 running-config
Before You Begin

powered down.
For example, suppose that you create an IP storage configuration with an I/O module in slot 3 of Switch A.
This module uses an IP address. You decide to remove this I/O module and move it to Switch B, and you no
