I learned something interesting about the cisco ASA 5558-X chassis & that I thought was interesting;
Win river casino. The admin command is 'upgrade hw-module fpd rommona location all'. RP/0/RP0/CPU0:CRS-E(admin)# upgrade hw-module fpd rommona location all Fri Feb 13 09:59:18.961 PST PDT% RELOAD REMINDER: - The upgrade operation of the target module will not interrupt its normal operation.

Reload module mod-# Reloads a module in the device by turning power off then on. Hi Team, We need to reset/reload one of the module of our core switch i.e.WS-C6509-E.

The hw-module slot1 which encompass the IPS also carries the GIGE interfaces gi 1/0-7 and the 10GIGE interfaces as well 1/8-9.
Shutting down the hw-module slot1 will 'DROP' all interfaces in slot1 and not just the IPS modules.
Take a look at these show outputs;
And the available hardware module commands
1: So the meer issuing of a hw-module #1 shutdown, actually shutdown the whole slot1 and NOT just the IPS
2: A issuing of a hw-module #1 reload, will not disturb any GIGE interfaces on slot#1
I found this interesting while diagnostic and debugging a buggy IPS module. I have a case open with TAC over these issues. They are looking into it a trying to determine if this is normal behavior.
I found it funny cisco won't let you shutdown slot#0, but they allow slot#1 , and it will bring all interfaces on that slot down including the IPS module that I was trying to trouble shoot.
