Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
In a multirouter APS topology, a manual or force request is supported only on the protect router.
Specify
0
or
1
to identify on which channel the traffic should be stopped and switched to the other channel.
Therefore,
force 0
or
manual 0
moves traffic from the protect to the working channel, and
force 1
or
manual
1
moves traffic from the working to the protect channel.
