Activate or Disable Drain Mode

Activate Drain Mode

Activate Drain Mode by switching devices to the Drain state in Juniper Apstra:


User interface for device deployment settings with Deploy Mode options: Deploy selected, Ready, Drain, Undeploy, Not Set. Buttons: cancel, disable, save. Serial number 525400E743A9, with view or edit options. Tabs: Device, Properties, Tags, Virtual.

Once the device is switched to Drain, the change must be completed with the Commit button. The following image shows an example workflow using the Drain functionality.

To restore a device to service, switch the Deploy Mode setting back to Deploy, then Commit.
