(Optional) Manually Switching PWs in a PW Protection Group

In PW maintenance, you can manually switch services to the standby PW to facilitate maintenance operations.

Context

If you want to maintain the device where the active PW is configured in a VPLS PW redundancy scenario, you can switch services from the active PW to the standby PW and switches services back after the device stabilizes.

Only the PWs that work in master/slave PW redundancy mode support manual switching.
