I tested with M20 as well and in case of "request system halt" the machine went to:
The operating system has halted. Please press any key to reboot. ..state and once I pressed any key on keyboard, the machine booted up: Rebooting... Then I tried with "request system power-off" and machine went to: The operating system has halted. Please press any key to reboot. ..state just like in case of "request system halt". In other words it really looks that on M series the "request system halt" and "request system power-off" have no difference. Sebastian, in case one executes "request system power-off" under MX platform, then physical power-cycle is needed for the router in order to boot it up again? regards, martin 2011/6/16 Sebastian Wiesinger <juniper-...@ml.karotte.org>: > * Martin T <m4rtn...@gmail.com> [2011-06-15 00:30]: >> What is the difference between "request system halt" and "request >> system power-off" under JUNOS?
