INTERESTING, The 6509 Switches have the option of having NAM (Network Analysis Module) and IDS (Intrusion detection system) cards. (i.e. 6509- Switch, Router, NMS, IDS etc. on one box)
>From Cisco's Web site "An illuminated hard drive activity LED indicates that the hard drive is in use." "To prevent corruption of the NAM, it is critical that the NAM run through the shutdown procedure before shutting off. If the NAM fails to respond to CLI or NAM shutdown commands, you can use the Shutdown button as an alternative shutdown method. " http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/6000hw/mod_i nst/01overvw.htm#xtocid2525837 (Hard drive ?? What OS/IOS would require a hard drive... (The mind does wonder ;-) ) You cannot JUST POWER OFF SOME SWITCHES... It all depends what switching platform you have, and what options you have installed...
