Configuring APS Lockout

You can specify that an APS group operates in lockout mode, which means switches
from the working line to the protection line are prohibited until you turn off lockout
mode for that APS group. You should use this command when you want to prevent a
switchover to the protection line, such as when the protection line is being
reprovisioned, repaired, or debugged.
To control whether a switch to the protection line is locked out, use the following
command:
config aps <group#> lockout [off | on]
The parameter is an integer in the range from 1 to 65535 that identifies the APS
group#
group to which the lockout command applies.
By default, lockout mode is off.
This command applies only to SONET ports performing the protection line
function. Also, the settings from this command are not preserved when the
switch reboots.
The following command example turns on lockout mode for APS group 1001.
config aps 1001 lockout on

Configuring Forced Switch Mode

You can request that an APS group be forced to use the working line as the active line,
or be forced to use the protection line as the active line. Use this command when you
plan to perform service on the other link and don't want a switchover to occur.
To request that an APS group be forced to use a specified line as the active line, use the
following command:
config aps <group#> force [off | working | protection]
The parameter is an integer in the range from 1 to 65535 that identifies the APS
group#
group to which the
