Chapter 7 Card Protection
7.5 External Switching Commands
A Force switch has a higher priority than a Manual switch. Lockouts, which prevent traffic from
switching to the protect port under any circumstance, can only be applied to protect cards (in 1+1
configurations). Lockouts have the highest priority. In a 1+1 configuration you can also app ly a lock on
to the working port. A working port with a lock on applied cannot switch traffic to the protect port in the
protection group (pair). In 1:1 protection groups, working or protect ports can have a lock on.
Note Force and Manual switches do not apply to 1:1 protection groups; these ports have a single switch
command.
