Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

During service management, for example, service debugging or service halting, you can disable a VSI temporarily, and then add, cancel, or adjust VSI functions.

The shutdown command mainly affects the PW connections of a VSI. After the command is run, the AC is Down and the Layer 2 forwarding table is deleted.

Configuration Impact

After a VSI is disabled, the VSI cannot forward packets and withdraws all PW labels.

Precautions

After a VSI is disabled, the VSI cannot forward packets. Exercise caution when using the shutdown command.

Example

# Disable the current VSI.
