Maintenance Profile

Maintenance profile contains a set of commands that will be applied sequentially during graceful removal or
graceful insertion.
By default, the system isolates all enabled protocols during graceful removal and restores them during graceful
insertion. The protocols are isolated and restored in a predefined order.
The switch supports the following profiles:
• Maintenance-mode profile—Contains all the commands that will be executed during graceful removal,
• Normal-mode profile—Contains all the commands that will be executed during graceful insertion, when
System-generated Profile
You can allow the system to generate a maintenance-mode or normal-mode profile with specific configuration
commands. The system generates a maintenance-mode profile when you use the system mode maintenance
command or a normal-mode profile when you use the no system mode maintenance command.
Custom Profile
You can create a custom maintenance-mode or normal-mode profile with configuration commands that can
be applied during graceful removal or graceful insertion to isolate, shut down, or restore the protocols
individually (or perform additional configurations). You can use a custom profile when the system-generated
profile does not provide the required configuration or if you need to enhance the existing system-generated
or custom profile to include additional functionality specific to your deployment. Use the configure
maintenance profile maintenance-mode command to configure a custom maintenance-mode profile with
the required commands or the configure maintenance profile normal-mode command to configure a custom
normal-mode profile with the required commands.
The system-generated profile will overwrite the custom profile and vice-versa. The system can have either a
system-generated maintenance-mode profile or a custom maintenance-mode profile at a time. Similarly, the
