Gracefully power off Dell Switch

Hi,

I do not see any command for this, is there a reason why you want the graceful shutdown?

I have the same question, couldn't find a answer anywhere.

There is no graceful shutdown option on any switches I've seen lately. Since there are no spinning drives or data that needs to get written back to the local system, switches are extremely tolerant to power outages. The one thing you will want to do is make sure you have your configuration saved to the startup-configuration before pulling the plug. I would perform another "copy run start" just for good measure before removing power. If you want to be even more cautious, it is always good to backup your configuration to a remote drive (tftp, usb, etc.).  Hope this helps.

Old post, I know, but I figure I can answer the question for future google-fu.

First, Login as linuxadmin.

sudo -i

shutdown -P

This is how I do it.

I assume sudo shutdown -P may work as well.

It does boot up automatically, so watch it to shut it off when the os is not loaded.

Yes you can gracefully shutdown a Dell switch running OS10 via Linux shell but it will not result in a clean shutdown!
Please avoid doing this in a production environment as it can result in traffic disruption because Linux does not know about the networking services running.
Removing power from a switch is preferred as it will immediately stop any traffic processing.

On any of the switches I've seen recently, there is no graceful shutdown option. Switches are particularly resilient to power outages since they don't have any spinning discs or data that has to be written back to the local system. Before you pull the plug, ensure sure you've saved your configuration to the startup-configuration folder. Before turning off the power, I'd do another "copy run start" just to be safe. It's always a good idea to back up your setup to a remote disc if you want to be extra careful (tftp, usb, etc.). I hope this information is useful. You were unable to locate your answer.

Juniper switches have had graceful power-off and restart commands since Junos was created, with the command 

request system {reboot|power-off}

and can be told to do so at specific times with a YYMMDDhhmm argument thus - 

request system reboot at 2303310400 

to reboot the switch at 04:00 on the 31st of March 2023. It's extremely useful for scheduling restarts and firmware upgrades.
