# ebox modify

Modify the operational state of an EBox.

### **Usage**

```plaintext
ebox modify --id ID
           [--enable | --disable | --power-on | --power-off | --immediate-shutdown]
    
```

### **Required Parameters**

| `--id ID` | Specifies the EBox ID. |
| --- | --- |

### **Options**

| `--enable` | Enable the EBox. |
| --- | --- |
| `--disable` | Disable the EBox. |
| `--power-on` | Power on the EBox. |
| `--power-off` | Power off the EBox. This command first disables the EBox. |
| `--immediate-shutdown` | Power off the EBox without waiting for phaseout. This powers down the EBox regardless of whether it was disabled first. Use this command if `ebox --disable` fails. |
