Disable Network
Disables a specified network in OpenStack.
openstack network set --disable <network_id_or_name> openstack network set --disable <network_id_or_name> #!/bin/bash
# Disable Network
openstack network set --disable {{network_id_or_name}} import subprocess
# Disable Network
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values
def run_command():
cmd = [
"openstack",
"network",
"set",
"--disable",
"<network_id_or_name>"
]
try:
print(f"Executing: {' '.join(cmd)}")
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
except FileNotFoundError:
print("Error: openstack not found. Please install it first.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
run_command() When To Use
Before performing maintenance on services connected to the network.
Pro Tip
Use `--no-async` to confirm synchronous disabling and immediate status feedback post-execution.
