2.10.1 Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing
Clear a 1+1 Force or Manual Switch Command
Note If the 1+1 protection group is configured as revertive, clearing a Force switch to protect (or working)
moves traffic back to the working port. In revertive operation, the traffic always switches back to
working. There is no revert to the protect. If ports are not configured as revertive, clearing a Force switch
to protect does not move traffic back.
Note If the Force Switch was user-initiated, the reversion occurs immediately when the clear command is
issued. The five-minute WTR period is not needed in this case. If the Force was system-initiated, allow
the five-minute waiting period (during WTR) before the reversion occurs.
Step1 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step2 In the Protection Groups area, choose the protection group containing the port you want to clear.
Step3 In the Selected Group area, choose the port you want to clear.
Step4 In the Switching Commands area, click Clear.
Step5 Click Yes in the Confirmation Dialog box.
The Force switch is cleared. Traffic immediately reverts to the working port if the group was configured
for revertive switching.
Initiate a Lock-On Command
Note For ONS 15310-MA 1:1 electrical protection groups, working or protect cards can be placed in the
Lock On state. For a 1+1 optical protection group, only the working port can be placed in the Lock On
state.
Step1 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step2 In the Protection Groups list, click the protection group where you want to apply a lock-on.
Step3 If you determine that the protect card is in standby mode and you want to apply the lock-on to the protect
card, make the protect card active if necessary:
a. In the Selected Group list, click the protect card.
b. In the Switch Commands area, click Force.
Step4 In the Selected Group list, click the active card where you want to lock traffic.
Step5 In the Inhibit Switching area, click Lock On.
Step6 Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
