Clearing the Shutdown State

If you configure the switch to shut down upon detecting a hardware fault, and the switch enters the shutdown state, you must explicitly clear the shutdown state and reboot for the switch to become functional.
  1. Clear the shutdown state with the command:
    clear sys-recovery-level

    On a SummitStack, use the command:

    clear sys-recovery-level slot slot

    The switch prompts you to confirm this action. The following is a sample confirmation message:

    Are you sure you want to clear sys-recovery-level? (y/n)
  2. Enter y to confirm this action and clear the shutdown state. Enter n or press [Enter] to cancel this action.
After you clear the shutdown state, use the reboot command to bring the switch and ports back online. After rebooting, the switch is operational.
