2.6.57 FAILTOSW-HO

The Failure to Switch to Protection Facility condition occurs when a working or protect electrical facility
switches to its companion port by using a MANUAL command. For example, if you attempt to manually
switch traffic from an unused protect port to an in-service working port, the switch will fail (because
traffic is already present on the working port) and you will see the FAILTOSW condition.

If an ONS 15600 SDH traffic (STM-N) card is implicated and you are able to continue using the
traffic card with one port out of service, perform a bridge and roll to move the port traffic to a
free port; refer to the "Manage Circuits" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Procedure Guide
for instructions. Label the bad port, and place it out of service until such time as the card can be
replaced.

to the database.
