Appendix A Command Reference
[no] rpr-ieee protection request forced-switch {east | west}
[no] rpr-ieee protection request forced-switch {east | west}
Use this command to trigger a forced-switch protection event on the specified IEEE 802.17b-based RPR
span. Use the no form of this command to clear the switch.
Syntax Description
Defaults N/A
Command Modes IEEE 802.17b based RPR interface configuration
Usage Guidelines If the IEEE 802.17b based RPR forced switch is initiated with this command at the command-line
interface (CLI), traffic steers away from this span. To clear the force, use the no form of thecommand.
Note The command is not cleared if you change the port service state in CTC from OOS,DSBLD
(Locked,disabled) to IS/IS,AINS, or OOS,MT (Unlocked,enable d,automaticInService or
outofservice Maintenance).
IEEE 802.17b based RPR switching options are similar to the path pro tection and bidirectional line
switched ring (BLSR) protection switching options, but RPR-IEEE switching functions are only
available at the CLI and not in CTC.
In this command, protection can be shortened to prot and request can be shortened to req.
Examples In this example, interface is shortened to int.
Router(config)# int rpr-ieee
Router(config-if)# rpr-ieee prot req forced-switch east
