IEEE 802.17b based RPR interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
If the IEEE 802.17b based RPR forced switch is initiated with this command at the command-line
interface (CLI), traffic steers away from this span. To clear the force, use the no form of thecommand.
Note
The command is not cleared if you change the port service state in CTC from OOS,DSBLD
(Locked,disabled) to IS/IS,AINS, or OOS,MT (Unlocked,enabled,automaticInService or
outofservice Maintenance).
IEEE 802.17b based RPR switching options are similar to the path protection and bidirectional line
switched ring (BLSR) protection switching options, but RPR-IEEE switching functions are only
available at the CLI and not in CTC.
In this command, protection can be shortened to prot and request can be shortened to req.
Examples
In this example, interface is shortened to int.
Router(config)# int rpr-ieee
Router(config-if)# rpr-ieee prot req forced-switch east
