# Powering a Controller On and Off Using IPMI

You can power on or off, and reset a C Series Controller you are currently logged in to and for a remote controller. You must be logged on as a root user.

To execute a power command in the local controller using IPMI:

1. Log in as root user.
   `
   SRC-PE Release 3.1 [R.3.1.0-12]
   login: root
   `
2. Enter the password.
   `
   Password: password
   `

   You are now logged in as root user.

3. Access the CLI.
   `
   [root@host ~]# cli
   --- SRC CLI 3.1 build CLI.R.3.1.0.012
   (c) 2005-2008 Juniper Networks Inc.
   root@host>
   `
4. Enter the request ipmi power command.
   `
   user@host>request ipmi power (on | off | soft-off | reset| cycle)
   `
   - on—Power on a C Series Controller
   - off—Power off a C Series Controller. This command does not initiate a clean shutdown of the operating system before powering off the system.
   - soft-off—Power off a C Series Controller softly. This command initiates a soft shutdown of the operating system before powering off the system.
   - reset—Perform a hard reset on a C Series Controller.
   - cycle—Power off and then power on a C Series Controller.

   For example:

   `
   user@host>request ipmi power off
   `

To execute a power command on a remote controller using IPMI:

1. Log in as root user.
2. Enter the request ipmi host user power command.
   `
   root@host>request ipmi host host user user power (on | off | soft-off | reset| cycle)
   `

   For example:

   `
   root@host>request ipmi host 10.10.10.30 user johndoe power reset
   `
