How to decommission and onboard back a leaf from CFM

Symptoms

There is a need to repurpose couple of 100Gig leafs for different requirement, which currently onboarded in the Contrail CFM setup in production. What steps needs to be followed to decommission and onboard back a leaf from CFM

Solution

There is no separate decommission workflow available in Contrail CFM.Need to follow the steps by deleting all associated configuration on the Leaf and delete the leaf itself from the Fabric. As a first step delete all the configuration pushed to the LEAF including VPG,  Locgical Routers etc , Virtual networks. Once done delete the leaf itself from the fabric.

For the purpose of on-board the leaf back, you will need to follow the workflow same as on-boarding leaf for a new device.
