Description

This command administratively disables an entity. When disabled, an entity does not change, reset, or remove any configuration settings or statistics.

The operational state of the entity is disabled as well as the operational state of any entities contained within. Many objects must be shut down before they may be deleted.

Unlike other commands and parameters where the default state is not indicated in the configuration file, shutdown and no shutdown are always indicated in system generated configuration files. Default administrative states for services and service entities are described in Special Cases.

The no form of this command administratively enables an entity.

Special Cases

Mirror Destination

When a mirror destination service ID is shut down, mirrored packets associated with the service ID are not accepted from the mirror source device, and the associated mirror source becomes operationally down. Mirrored packets are not transmitted out of the SAP. Each mirrored packet is silently discarded. If the mirror destination is a SAP, the SAP discard counters are increased.

The shutdown command places the mirror destination service or mirror source into an administratively down state. The mirror-dest service ID must be shut down to delete the service ID, SAP association from the system.

The default state for a mirror destination service ID is shutdown. A no shutdown command is required to enable the service.

Mirror Source

Mirror sources do not need to be shut down to remove them from the system.

When a mirror source is shut down, mirroring is terminated for all sources defined locally for the mirror-dest service ID.

The default state for a mirror source for a specific mirror destination service ID is no shutdown. A shutdown command is required to disable mirroring from that mirror source.
