Network as CodeSlice activation and deactivation
Activating a slice
Slice activation presupposes a slice already exists.
So, after creating the desired slice according to the steps in the previous page,
simply use the activate() method to activate the slice.
from network_as_code.client import NetworkAsCodeClient
from network_as_code.models.device import DeviceIpv4Addr
from network_as_code.models.slice import(
NetworkIdentifier,
Slice,
SliceInfo,
AreaOfService,
Point,
Throughput
)
my_device = client.devices.get(...)
# First, create or get a slice
my_slice = client.slices.create(...)
# Get a slice by its ID
slice = client.slices.get(my_slice.name)
# Then, activate it
slice.activate()NOTE: A slice might take a significant amount of time (minutes) to be set up. So, you can configure a web server to receive to receive slice-status notifications. This will allow you to know when a slice is ready to be configured as desired.
Deactivating a slice
Use the following SDK snippet to deactivate slice.
from network_as_code.client import NetworkAsCodeClient
from network_as_code.models.device import DeviceIpv4Addr
from network_as_code.models.slice import(
NetworkIdentifier,
Slice,
SliceInfo,
AreaOfService,
Point,
Throughput
)
my_device = client.devices.get(...)
# First, create or get a slice
my_slice = client.slices.create(...)
# Get a slice by its ID
slice = client.slices.get(my_slice.name)
# Then, deactivate it
slice.deactivate()Keep in mind: Slices need to be deactivated before you delete them. Therefore, it's not possible to delete an active slice (with an
OPERATINGstatus). Check how you can delete a slice.
