Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

For unchannelized OC3, OC12, and OC48 SONET/SDH interfaces on T-series platforms only, configure the interface to interoperate with SONET/SDH line-terminating equipment (LTE) that is provisioned for unidirectional linear APS in 1+1 architecture.

Default

If the switching-mode statement is not configured, the mode is bidirectional, and the interface does not interoperate with a unidirectional SONET/SDH LTE.

Options

bidirectional—Support bidirectional mode only.
unidirectional—Interoperate with a SONET/SDH LTE provisioned for unidirectional mode.

Usage Guidelines

See Configuring SONET/SDH Physical Interface Properties.
