| Is there a correct way to power down a router apart from the "brutal" switch on the back of the console?
Short and sweet......

| I never heard of a command to power down a router. As for the "brutal" switch, I don't think the router suffers too much when you hit it...

| Thanx, I have seem so many pc hard drives damaged by an incorrect shutdown. I know routers do not have a HD, and they are solid state, but I just wanted to make sure, as they cost a lot of $$.

| There is no possible way to damage a router via powering it off. Like you said, routers don't have HDs, and thus cannot be damaged. In the six years I've been doing this, I've never once heard of a router crapping itself from an improper shutdown. | |

| That is an easy one. you need to be in the enable authorized area. Then use the "reload" command, this is helpful for rebooting remote router. I use it all the time. | |

| Thank you gman, but I want to power down and not reload

1. No, the power switch is the only way to power it down (as opposed to "reload," which causes a warm reboot).
2. There's nothing "brutal" about it; as another post said, it doesn't hurt anything, rather unlike a PC.
HTH,
