Manual Switching to a Redundant Port

To switch from the working interface to the protect interface manually, issue the aps force command or the aps manual command. The aps force command overrides any switchover settings you configured on the protect interface; the aps manual command does not override those settings.

aps force

• Use to switch from the working interface to the assigned protect interface unless a request of equal or higher priority is in effect.
• You can issue this command only for the protect interface, not for the working interface.
• The aps force command has a higher priority than the aps manual command, a remote reversion request, a signal failure request on a working channel, or a signal degradation request on a working channel.
• The resulting configuration is not stored in NVS for SRP module or line module reloads; however, it is stored in NVS for use with SNMP.
• You must specify one of the following channel numbers:
  • 0—Switches from the protect interface back to the working interface
  • 1—Switches from the working interface to the protect interface
• Examples

  host1(config-controll)#aps force 0

  host1(config-controll)#aps force 1

• Use the no version to revert to the original working interface.
• See aps force.
