+You should substitute <network0> with the first network node to be drained, To set

+You can monitor the L3/DHCP agents being drained from the node by running:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ssh -t <network0> watch ip netns ls
+
+Once all agents have been drained, you can upgrade the containerised services
+on the network node. For dedicated network nodes run:
+
+.. code-block:: console

+.. code-block:: console
+
+   kayobe playbook run $KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH/ansible/neutron-l3-drain.yml -e neutron_namespace_drain_host=<network0> -e maintenance=false -e neutron_namespace_drain_dhcp_agents=true

+The above steps should be repeated for the remaining network nodes, once all network nodes have been upgraded
