What is the best practice to enable / disable a single bts / trx in a multi trx configuration?

Just stop/disconnect it?

Just stopping it, phones settle after some time, but I get a lot of timeouts in syslog.

what kind of "timeouts in syslog" ?

So, for service / reconfig purposes, how do I disable a single (remote ) bts from the BSC side? ( without making a temporary config file and restarting ? )

you can make any change to the configuration at runtime and you don't need to restart the BSC.

Option 1:

---- enable configure terminal network bts 0 ip.access unit_id 55555 end drop bts connection 0 oml ----

assuming that "55555" is not a valid unit-id, the BTS will be disconnected and not permitted to reconnect due to unknown unit-id

this is a bit of a hack.

The better solution is:

---- enable configure terminal network bts 0 trx 0 rf_locked 1 end drop bts connection 0 oml ----

And then if you want to re-enable it, do the same with 'rf_locked 0'.
