Enable Maintenance Mode on SLX Devices

You can enable maintenance mode on the SLX devices that EFA manages.

By default, EFA performs Drift and Reconcile actions on the SLX devices that are in maintenance mode, taking those devices out of maintenance mode after a designated interval. For more information about Drift and Reconcile, see Drift Identification and Reconcile.

You can enable maintenance mode on SLX devices without triggering Drift and Reconcile. Take the following steps.

Disable syslog.

efa inventory device execute-cli --ip 10.18.120.187 
--command "no logging syslog-server 10.18.120.140 use-vrf mgmt-vrf" --config

Enable maintenance mode.
```
efa inventory device setting update --maint-mode-enable Yes --ip 10.18.120.187
```
The device remains in maintenance mode until you disable the mode.

Disable maintenance mode.

Enable syslog.

efa inventory device execute-cli --ip 10.18.120.187 
--command "logging syslog-server 10.18.120.140 use-vrf mgmt-vrf" -–config

Run Drift and Reconcile.
```
efa inventory drift-reconcile execute --ip 10.18.120.187 –reconcile
```
The Drift and Reconcile process takes the device out of maintenance mode.
