Interface Config

[ComplexNurd]

Hello,

Can anyone help me answer if performing the command "service dataplane restart" is service affecting?

I have a Netgate 1537 with a 2 port 10g x710 expansion and I am just simply looking to configure an additional interface and ideally be able to do this within business hours.

I currently have the following interfaces showing to me:

tnsr(config)# dataplane dpdk dev ?
0000:03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection X552 10 GbE SFP+
0000:03:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection X552 10 GbE SFP+ ( Active Interface )
0000:05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ (rev 02)
0000:05:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ (rev 02) ( Active Interface )
0000:07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) ( Active Interface )
0000:07:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) ( Active Interface )
default

With the following interfaces already configured as LAN & WAN

dataplane dpdk dev 0000:03:00.0 network name LAN
dataplane dpdk dev 0000:05:00.0 network name WAN

I'm assuming the following config will enable the interfaces and make them available within the TNSR for use?

tnsr(config)#dataplane dpdk dev 0000:03:00.1 network name OTHER_LINK
tnsr(config)#configuration candidate commit
tnsr(config)#service dataplane restart

But following the last command should I expect any disruption to service?

service dataplane restart restarts the VPP daemon and will definitely affect service.

While that daemon is restarting, no traffic can pass.

Thankfully it usually restarts very quickly so the disruption would be minimal, but still best to do in a brief maintenance window.
