OVERVIEW OF DFE MODULE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
The DFE modules installed in a Matrix E7, Matrix N3, or Matrix N7 chassis are interdependent 
and operate under a single IP address as a single, distributed switch system (hardware, databases, 
and persistent storage). In this operating environment, the DFE module must shut down in an 
orderly fashion to ensure that the other modules in the system and other devices on the network are 
notified of the impending change. The device(s) can then make intelligent decisions and stabilize 
the network before the change is made, thereby increasing network availability.
You can shut down a DFE module in an operating system using the OFFLINE/RESET button 
shown in 
. There are two procedures to shut down a DFE module.

User parameters 
(IP address, device 
and module name, 
etc.) were lost 
when the module 
power was cycled, 
the front panel 
OFFLINE/RESET 
button was 
pressed.
Position of Mode switch 
(7), Persistent Data Reset, 
was changed sometime 
before either cycling 
power or pressing the 
OFFLINE/RESET button, 
causing the user-entered 
parameters to reset to 
factory default settings.
Clear Persistent Data that 
was set through Local 
Management.
The module was moved 
either from slot-to-slot or 
from chassis-to-chassis.
Reenter the lost parameters as necessary. 
Refer to the Enterasys Matrix 
DFE-Platinum Series Configuration Guide
 
for the instructions to configure the device.
If the problem continues, contact Enterasys 
Networks for technical support.
Caution: Do not remove a DFE module from an operating chassis system before 
reading the following information and instructions.
Precaución: Antes de retirar los módulos DFE del chasis en funcionamiento, lea las 
siguientes instrucciones y la información suministrada.
