Service ControlΒΆ
Services controlled directly by TNSR can be restarted from within the TNSR CLI in configuration mode.
To control a service, use the service command as follows:
tnsr# configure
tnsr(config)# service (backend|bgp|dataplane|dhcp|ike|ospf|ospf6|restconf|rip|unbound) <action>
tnsr(config)# service (http|ntp|prometheus|snmp|ssh) <namespace> <action>
- name:
The name of the service to configure. Must be one of:
- backend:
Configuration backend (
clixon_backend)- bgp:
BGP routing (
bgpd,zebra)- dataplane:
Dataplane (
vpp)- dhcp:
DHCP (
kea)- http:
HTTP for RESTCONF API (
nginx)- ike:
IKE daemon for IPsec (
charon)- ntp:
Time service (
ntpd)- ospf:
OSPF Routing (
ospfd,zebra)- ospf6:
OSPF6 Routing (

Prometheus exporter (
vpp_prometheus_export)- restconf:
RESTCONF API (
clixon_restconf)- rip:
RIP Routing (
ripd,zebra)- snmp:
SNMP Server (
snmpd)- ssh:
Secure Shell server (
sshd)- unbound:
DNS Resolver (

- namespace:
Services which are capable of running in more than one namespace (Networking Namespaces) take the namespace as a second parameter. The namespace can be:
- dataplane:
Control the service instance running in the dataplane namespace This service will be reachable on interfaces and addresses managed by TNSR.
- host:
Control the service instance running in the host OS namespace. This service will be reachable on interfaces and addresses managed by the host OS.
- action:
The action to take on the service. Must be one of:
- start:
Start the service if it is not already running.
- stop:
Stop the service if it is currently running.
- restart:
Stop and restart the service, or start the service if it is not running. This action is not available for the dhcp service.
- reload:
Reload the service configuration without restarting. This action is available for the dhcp and unbound services.
