Chapter 17 DLPs E100 to E199

DLP- E104 Initiate a Force Switch to a Path Protection Circuit

Step 2 Click the path you want to switch and then click Edit.

Step 3 In the Edit Circuit window, click the Path Protection Selectors tab.

Step 4 In the Switch State column, click the row for the path you want to switch and select Manual to Protect or Manual to Working as appropriate.

Step 5 Click Apply.

Step 6 To verify that the switch has occurred, view the Path Protection Selectors tab Switch State column. The row for the circuit you switched will show a MANUAL status.

Traffic switches from the working path protection to the protect path. If the path is configured for revertive switching, the traffic reverts to the working path when the Manual switch is cleared. See the “DLP-E170 Clear a Switch or Lockout on a Path Protection Circuit” task on page 17-55as needed.

Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-E104 Initiate a Force Switch to a Path Protection Circuit

 

Purpose

This task switches traffic to the working path protection circuit using a

 

 

Force switch. A Force switch will switch traffic even if the path has

 

 

signal degrade (SD) or signal fail (SF) conditions. A Force switch has a

 

 

higher priority than a Manual switch.

 

Tools/Equipment

None

Required/As Needed

As needed

 

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

 

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

 

 

Step 1

In node view, click the Circuits > Circuits tabs.

Step 2

Click the path you want to switch and click Edit.

Step 3

In the Edit Circuit window, click the Path Protection Selectors tab.

Step 4

In the Switch State column, click the row for the path you want to switch and select Force to Working

 

or Force to Protect as appropriate.

Step 5

Click Apply.

 

Step 6

To verify that the switch has occurred, view the Path Protection Selectors tab Switch State column. The

 

circuit row shows a FORCE status.

 

Traffic switches from the protect path to the working path. Protection switching cannot occur until the

 

Force switch is cleared. See the “DLP-E170 Clear a Switch or Lockout on a Path Protection Circuit” task

 

on page 17-55as needed.

 

Step 7

Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
