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|dhcp4|ike|ospf|ospf6|restconf|rip|unbound) <action>
tnsr(config)# service (http|ntp|prometheus|rsyslogd|snmp|ssh) <namespace> <action>
name:

The name of the service to configure. Must be one of:

backend:
