Clear a 1+1 Force or Manual Switch Command
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.
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.
