Disabling a Transport

Caution:

Disabling a Transport causes a Transport alarm, and possibly, alarms for Links, Link Sets, Routes, or node isolation.

When a Transport is put in the Disabled Administrative State, the MP server attempts to bring the Transport to the SCTP Closed state and the ASP-DOWN state.

1. Select Transport Manager > Maintenance > Transport.
2. Click on the Pause updates check box on the page (lower right corner) so you can view the results of your selections during this procedure. You can also click the Transport Manager > Maintenance > Transport on the main menu to manually update the page.
3. Click on the row that contains the Transport to highlight it.
   Disable is not grayed out if the Transport's Administrative State is already Disabled.

   Also, if collection on the server is not working, all buttons (Enable, Block, and Disable) are active to give the user control when the status is unknown. The Admin State, Operational Status, and Operational Reason fields are grayed out. The MP server disregards the command if the Transport is already in the selected Administrative State.

4. Click Disable.
   A confirmation message appears.
5. Click OK to confirm.
   If the Transport is successfully disabled,

   • The Operational Status field shows Down.
   • The Admin State field shows Disabled.
   • Disable is now grayed out.

   If OK is clicked and the selected Transport has been deleted by another user, an error message appears.
