Restoration of
Service on the
Working Module
After automatic or manual switchover has been performed and the replace-
ment or testing of the working module is completed, the user manually
switches the traffic back from the protection module to the working module,
which resumes Active mode. The following events occur depending on
whether the working module is an existing one having all configurations
loaded, or is a new module that replaces a failed working module.
