To schedule bulk maintenance for port and interface components using an XML file:

  1. Open an XML editor.

  2. Create a file with the format:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
    <!DOCTYPE ics_config SYSTEM "ics-config.dtd">
    <ics_config version="2">
     <maintconfig className = "Port" instanceName = "abc"
          startYear = "2009"
          startMonth = "7"
          startDay = "26"
          startHour= "10"
          startMinute= "00"
          endYear = "2009"
          endMonth = "7"
          endDay = "28"
          endHour= "16"
          endMinute = "00"
          systemName = "router1"/>
    </ics_config>
    
  3. Save and close the file.

  4. Upload the XML file to the server.
