How do I place a link set into maintenance mode?

Purpose

When a link set is placed into maintenance mode, the LSPs riding the link set must be rerouted. This can be done manually or automatically.

In order for the NSP host server to reroute these LSPs automatically, the nrcp block of the /opt/nsp/configure/config/arm-system.conf file must be modified as follows:

nrcp {

nrcp_link_maintenance_policy="swift"

bgpLs

{

isTopoSourceBgpLS=true

}

}

When maintenance mode is deactivated for a link set, and the above modification has been made, the LSPs will automatically return to their original link set.

Note: Link sets will be automatically placed into maintenance mode if either of their source nodes are placed into maintenance mode. This can be done using an API. For more information, see the Network Developer Portal
