3.14.4 performProtectionCommand
For 4-fiber span switch, it can be Ew -> Ep, Ep ->Ew, Ww -> Wp, and Wp -> Ww.
CTM validates whether or not fromTp and toTp are part of same protection group. If this validation fails
then it throws ProcessingFailureException with EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT. CTM always performs the
command on the fromTp for PC_LOCKOUT and PC_EXERCISE. CTM also verifies if it is possible to
perform the command; if not, it throws EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY.
