Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
– 492 –
c. An ring node with a local manual switch command that receives an
R-APS message or a local request of higher priority than R-APS (MS)
clear its manual switch request. The ring node then processes the
new higher priority request.
■
Recovery for manual switching under revertive and non-revertive
mode is described under the Revertive parameter.
■
Clear – Manually clears the protection state which has been invoked by a
forced switch or manual switch command, and the node is operating under
non-revertive mode; or before the WTR or WTB timer expires when the
node is operating in revertive mode.
■
Two steps are required to make a ring operating in non-revertive mode
return to Idle state from forced switch or manual switch state:
1. Issue a Clear command to remove the forced switch command on
the node where a local forced switch command is active.
2. Issue a Clear command on the RPL owner node to trigger the
reversion.
■
The Clear command will also stop the WTR and WTB delay timers and
reset their values.
■
More detailed information about using this command for non-revertive
mode is included under the Revertive parameter. (See the Command
Usage section under “ERPS Ring Configuration” on page 473.)
