Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting
1.10.1 Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing
Clear a 1+1 Force or Manual Switch Command
Note
If the 1+1 protection group is configured as revertive, clearing a Force switch to protect (or working)
moves traffic back to the working port. In revertive operation, the traffic always switches back to
working. There is no revert to the protect. If ports are not configured as revertive, clearing a Force switch
to protect does not move traffic back.
Note
If the Force Switch was user-initiated, the reversion occurs immediately when the clear command is
issued. The five-minute WTR period is not needed in this case. If the Force was system-initiated, allow
the five-minute waiting period (during WTR) before the reversion occurs.
Step 1
In node view, click the
Maintenance > Protection
tabs.
Step 2
In the Protection Groups area, choose the protection group containing the port you want to clear.
Step 3
In the Selected Group area, choose the port you want to clear.
Step 4

Step 5
Click

The Force switch is cleared. Traffic immediately reverts to the working port if the group was configured
for revertive switching.
