On EX4100 series switch, you will observe 'reboot' message when issued 'request system power-off' command. This is a limitation on EX4100 only since power-off sequence is different from other EX series switch. Please note, this is a display issue and does not affect actual behavior.
On EX4100 series, CLI command 'request system power-off' is giving 'reboot' message as below:
user@EX4100> request system power-off
Reboot the system ? [yes,no] (no) yes
*** System shutdown message from user@EX4100 ***
System going down in 1 minute
Shutdown at Mon Nov 18 14:15:37 2024.
~snip~
System going down in 30 seconds
Stopping cron.
Power-off in progress
Uptime: 7d0h40m43s
Khelp module "jsocket" can't unload until its refcount drops from 4 to 0.
Rebooting...
Other EX series switch give 'Power Off the system' as expected:
user@Other EX> request system power-offwarning: This command will halt all the members.If planning to halt only one member use the member optionPower Off the system ? [yes,no] (no)
user@Other EX> request system power-off
warning: This command will halt all the members.
If planning to halt only one member use the member option
Power Off the system ? [yes,no] (no)
This is a display issue which does not affect the actual behavior. So even if you see 'reboot' message, the device won't reboot.
This is a limitation on EX4100 series switch because this behavior comes from internal sequence to power off and it is different from other EX series switch.In case of EX4100, the system power-off is achieved by permanent reset flag on the board and there is no 'power off' flag has been supported.
