Network element management
Administrators use Start, Stop, and Restart operations to modify the configured
properties of network elements. After a network element instance stops, the state
changes to OFFLINE and services become unavailable. Starting, stopping, and
restarting a network element instance require an administrative role with
NEInstanceService privilege.
Stopping a network element
A Stop operation stops the processes of a network element instance and allows for
system cleanup prior to shutdown.
For all network element types, if the network element is redundant, stopping the
STANDBY or HOT STANDBY instance does not affect service; it only causes a
loss of redundancy. For more information, see the individual network element
guides.
1 In the System Management Console, from the configuration view, select
Network Elements > <ne_type> > <ne> > NE Maintenance.
2 From the Maintenance window, select the instance to stop and click Stop.
3 Click Yes. to confirm the Stop.
The network element instance changes to OFFLINE.
Caution: Stopping a network element instance can affect sessions that
are in progress.
