When migrating MPX hardware by doing the whole "break HA pair", evict a node, and then add the new hardware node. You can still make all the necessary network changes as far as adding LACP to interfaces and all that, correct? As that is in the ns.conf. What about PBRs? WHen evicting a node, do you typically put it as stay secondary on the old node your evicting as well as the new node your adding...and setting stay primary mode on the node currently in there?

I would recommend to follow Ctx process on this. Ctx218966. But yes you set the stay on secondary and primary before your break the HA. Order is important :) LACP and VLAN binding is independent. Rest is sync including PBR if you are not in INC.

thanks, don't think i've seen that article before!

Sorry I miss your message, I am not 100% sure as I use access port on my mgt int but I'd say node base.
