Hello all,
I know this may not be the best place for my question, but hopefully some kind soul here can help out. I have to move a router from one building to another and need to know the proper steps to bring it down. I know the "reload" command restarts the router, but what is the command to shut it down? Or do I just pull the plug? It is a Cisco 2600 router.
Thanks.
Best way is to telnet (or console) in, backup the config, write memory then simply hit the power switch. There is no "shut down" command it.
shutdown command is used to move administratively down an interface.....
As a previous post said .. just save the running config to nvram ... "wr mem" and you're ok to pull the power.
It also pays to look for any "boot system flash:" commands in the config and make sure the still exists on the flash. You can "sh run | inc boot system" and then "dir flash" to check.
