Is it possible to put an interface on maintenance?
by Ingeborg Hellemo 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

One of my users is doing work on a netbox and links are down. He clicks on the link in /status, ends up on /ipdevinfo/<boxname>/interface=nnnnnnn, chicks Recent Alerts and observes an Unresolved linkState event. He then clicks on the Message and endds up in /search/event/nnnn "Event details" Under Available actions he chooses "Put on maintenance". Is this supposed to work for interfaces? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø
