Step 1: Take an SFM Offline

Action

To take an SFM offline, use the following CLI command:

user@host> request chassis sfm slot slot-number offline

Sample Output

user@host> request chassis sfm slot 0 offline

Offline initiated, use "show chassis sfm" to verify

For M40e routers:

user@host> show chassis sfm

Temp  CPU Utilization (%)   Memory    Utilization (%)

Slot State            (C)  Total  Interrupt      DRAM (MB) Heap     Buffer

  0  Offline         --- Offlined by cli command ---

  1  Online - Standby  41      4          0        64        16         46

For M160 routers:

user@host> show chassis sfm

Temp  CPU Utilization (%)   Memory    Utilization (%)

Slot State            (C)  Total  Interrupt      DRAM (MB) Heap     Buffer

  0  Online            41      3          0        64        17         46

  1  Online            44      4          0        64        17         46

  2  Online            44      4          0        64        17         46

  3  Offline         --- Offlined by cli command ---

Packet scheduling mode: Disabled

What It Means

The sample output confirms that the SFM offline command has been initiated and specifies to use the show chassis sfm CLI command to verify that the SFM is offline. The command output for both the M40e and M160 routers shows that the SFM is offline and that this state was generated by running the CLI command.
