Enabling the slow offline feature
The shutdown command immediately terminates existing connections of a link. The slow offline feature ages out the connections, and does not establish new connections.
To enable the slow offline feature for a link, you must execute the slow-shutdown enable command and then the shutdown command. If you execute the shutdown command and then the slow-shutdown enable command, the slow offline feature does not take effect and the link is shut down.
