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.
