Description

Deactivate a configuration element. The element remains in the candidate configuration or private copy, but when the configuration is later committed, the element does not affect the functioning of the routing, switching, or security platform.

The inactive attribute can be combined with one or more of the insert, rename, or replace attributes, as described in Changing a Configuration Element’s Activation State Simultaneously with Other Changes. To reactivate a deactivated element, include the active attribute instead.

Usage Guidelines
