Enabling the slow offline feature

The shutdown command immediately terminates existing connections of a real server. The slow offline feature ages out the connections, and does not establish new connections.

To enable the slow offline feature for a real server, 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 real server is shut down.
