Overview
Use this command to manually cause a protection switch on a G.8032 Ethernet
Ring Protection (ERP) instance ring port.
Syntax
g8032 manual-switch erp-instance <
erp-instance-name
>
{east-interface|west-interface|terminating-interface}
Mode
Privileged Exec
Usage
G.8032 supports a Manual Protection Switch action initiated by the operator. A
Manual Protection Switch command is to be issued at a given G.8032 node and
given port in the ring. This results in a block being applied at that ring port (and an
unblock on the opposite ring port), and a R-APS designated Manual Switch
message to flow around the ring causing the RPL to become unblocked.
The difference between a Manual switch and a Forced switch is that the Manual
Switch will be ignored under various conditions. In particular, only one Manual
Switch is allowed on a G.8032 ring at a time.
If the G.8032 Physical Ring instance associated with the specified ERP instance is
set to terminating-interface, then only one ring port is available and
terminating-interface must be used in this command, otherwise specify the
east-interface or the west-interface.
To clear this action command, use the
Example
