Usage Scenario
In network O&M, service traffic sometimes needs to be switched to the protection path or locked to the working path. To switch traffic manually, run the protect-switch command.
After maintenance operations are complete, you can run the protect-switch clear command to switch traffic back.Prerequisites
A PW APS instance has been created using the pw-aps command.
Precautions
Different switch requests have different priorities. When the priority of a new switch request is higher than that of the current switch request, the new switch request takes effect.
Only the NetEngine 8000 F1A supports this command.
