Description

This command administratively disables an entity. When disabled, an entity does not change, reset, or remove configuration settings or statistics.

The operational state of the entity is disabled as well as the operational state of any entities contained within. Many objects must be shut down before they may be deleted.

Services are created in the administratively down (shutdown) state. When a no shutdown command is entered, the service becomes administratively up, then tries to enter the operationally up state. Default administrative states for services and service entities is described as follows in Special Cases.

The no form of this command places the entity into an administratively enabled state.

Special Cases

Service Admin State

Bindings to an SDP within the service are put into the out-of-service state when the service is shut down. While the service is shut down, all customer packets are dropped and counted as discards for billing and debugging purposes.

SDP (global)

When an SDP is shut down at the global service level, all bindings to that SDP are put into the out-of-service state, and the SDP is put into the administratively and operationally down states. Packets that would usually be transmitted using this SDP binding are discarded and counted as dropped packets.

SDP (service level)

Shutting down an SDP within a service affects traffic only on that service from entering or being received from the SDP. The SDP may still be operationally up for other services.

SDP Keepalives

Enables SDP connectivity monitoring keepalive messages for the SDP ID. The default state is disabled (shutdown) in which case the operational state of the SDP-ID is not affected by the keepalive message state.
