The host subsystem is taken offline and brought online as a unit. Before you replace an SCB or a Routing Engine, you must take the host subsystem offline. The host subsystem is hot-pluggable, but taking the host subsystem offline causes the device to shut down.
To take a host subsystem offline:
user@host> request system halt
Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system has halted.
For more information about the command, see the JUNOS System Basics and Services Command Reference.

Note: The SCB might continue forwarding traffic for approximately 5 minutes after the request system halt command has been issued. |
