card, make the protect card active:
a. In the Selected Group list, click the protect card.
b. In the Switch Commands area, click Force.
Step 5 In the Selected Group list, click the active card where you want to lock traffic.
Step 6 In the Inhibit Switching area, click Lock On.
Step 7 Click Ye s in the confirmation dialog box.

see the “DLP-A203 Clear a Lock On or Lock Out” task on page 19-3.
Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A202 Apply a Lock Out
Note Multiple lockouts in the same protection group are not allowed.
Step 1 Use the following rules to determine if you can put the intended card in a Lock Out state:
• For a 1:1 electrical protection group, you can apply a lockout to the working or protect cards.
• For a 1:N electrical protection group, you can apply a lockout to the working or protect cards.
• For a 1+1 optical protection group, you can apply a lockout to the protect port.
Step 2 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step 3 In the Protection Groups list, click the protection group that contains the card you want to lock out.
Step 4 In the Selected Group list, click the card you want to lock traffic out of.
Step 5 In the Inhibit Switching area, click Lock Out.
Step 6 Click Ye s in the confirmation dialog box.
The lockout has been applied and traffic is switched to the opposite card. To clear the lockout, see the
“DLP-A203 Clear a Lock On or Lock Out” task on page 19-3.
Note Provisioning a lockout raises a LOCKOUT-REQ or an FE-LOCKOUT-PR condition in Cisco
Transport Controller (CTC). Clearing the lockout switch request clears these conditions.
Purpose This task switches traffic from one card to another using a lockout,
which is a switching mechanism that overrides other external switching
commands (Force, Manual, and Exercise).
