Configuring Switching Mode
To configure switching mode in unidirectional mode:
- 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
- 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:
- 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
- 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. |
