Extreme Networks ExtremeWare - Configure Aps Force

configure aps force
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 1633
configure aps force
configure aps <group#> force [off | working | protection]
Description
Requests that an APS group be forced to use a specified line as the active line.
Syntax Description
Default
The default is force off .
Usage Guidelines
You specify the group# parameter, which is an integer in the range [1-65535]. The group# identifies the
APS group that the force command applies to. When
force working is specified, the command
requests that the APS group uses the working line as the active line. Conversely, when
force
protection
is specified, the command requests that the APS group uses the protection line as the active
line. A forced switch is a high priority request. Only three events can override a forced switch request:
(1) a
force off command, (2) a lockout on command (that was either in effect before the force
command or issued after the force command), or (3) a signal-fail condition on the protection line. This
command is only applicable to SONET ports performing the protection line function. Additionally, the
effects of this command are not preserved across a switch reboot.
Example
The following command example forces APS group 1001 to use the protection line as the active line:
config aps 1001 force protection
