Configuring Switching Mode

To configure switching mode in unidirectional mode:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name sonet-options aps] hierarchy level.
    [edit]user@host# edit interfaces interface-name sonet-options aps
  2. Configure unidirectional mode by setting the unidirectional option.
    [edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options aps]user@host# set switching-mode unidirectional

    Note: On interfaces with unidirectional APS support configured, revertive mode and load sharing between circuits are not supported.

To configure switching mode in bidirectional mode:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name sonet-options aps] hierarchy level.
    [edit]user@host# edit interfaces interface-name sonet-options aps
  2. Configure bidirectional mode to restore the default behavior by setting the bidirectional option.
    [edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options aps]user@host# set switching-mode bidirectional

Note: By default, APS supports only SONET/SDH LTE that is provisioned for bidirectional mode.
