Purpose
Shut
down the appliance and leave it
in a powered-off state. It does not automatically reboot. If you want
to reboot the appliance after running this command, push the power
button if it is a single push button, or toggle the power button if
it is a 2-position rocker switch. This is the preferred method to
shut down the appliance instead of using only the power button.
Syntax
device shutdown
Options
None.
Parameters
None.
Usage Notes
If you are connected to the command
line interface (CLI) through a network connection (i.e., ssh or telnet),
your network connection is ended during the shutdown. If you want
to see all the messages for the full shutdown cycle, you need to be
connected to the serial console.
