Description

This command creates a text description stored in the configuration file for a configuration context. The description command associates a text string with a configuration context to help identify the content in the configuration file.

The no form of the command removes the string from the configuration.

Parameters

string

The description can contain a string of up to 80 characters composed of printable, 7-bit ASCII characters. If the string contains special characters (#, $, spaces, and so on), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.

Syntax

[no] shutdown

Context

config>log>accounting-policy

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document

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.

The no form of this command administratively enables an entity.

Default

no shutdown

Special Cases

log-id

When a log-id is shut down, no events are collected for the entity. This leads to the loss of event data.

accounting-policy

When an accounting policy is shut down, no accounting data is written to the destination log ID. Counters in the billing data reflect totals, not increments, so when the policy is re-enabled (no shutdown) the counters include the data collected during the period the policy was shut down.
