Configuring Switching Between the Working and Protect Circuits
You can perform a manual switch between the working and protect circuits.
- 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 the request option as protect or
working to perform a manual switch. This option is honored only if
there are no higher-priority reasons to switch. [edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options aps]user@host# set request (protect | working)
To switch the circuit manually to being the working circuit or to override the revert timer when the working circuit is operating in nonrevertive 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 the request working option to switch
the circuit manually to being the working circuit or to override the
revert timer when the working circuit is operating in nonrevertive
mode.[edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options aps]user@host# set request working
To perform a forced switch:
- 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 the force option to perform a forced
switch. This option is honored only if there are no higher-priority
reasons to switch. This configuration can be overridden by a signal
failure on the protect circuit, thus causing a switch to the working
circuit. [edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options aps]user@host# set force (protect | working)
To configure a lockout of protection, forcing the use of the working circuit and locking out the protect circuit regardless of anything else.
- 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 a lockout of protection, forcing the use of
the working circuit and locking out the protect circuit regardless
of anything else.[edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options aps annex-b]user@host# set lockout
To display an Annex B lockout configuration, use the show aps extensive operational command.
