To force a switch, press “w” (sWitch command), then press "y" to complete the switch. The
traffic on the WAN card in slot W1 will be switched to the WAN-R card in slot W4. The Main
System Screen (see Figure 5-79) now shows both ports of the card in slot W4 as active port
(Status = aa) and the ports on the card in slot W1 as redundant (Status = rr).

In addition to the status of the WAN card changing, the IMACS shelf will also raise the
