To start or stop the ignore SAP port state tool on a VPRN interface

Purpose

Use the ignore SAP port state tool to bypass the checking of the physical port operational state if it is down during operational checks on the NE. The tool is available for 7x50 NEs on L3 and subscriber interfaces of IES and VPRN services. The interface can be IPV4/IPV6 or dual stack. An SAP must be attached.

If this procedure is performed when the IP interface is operationally up the command will be accepted but will enter a pending state. It will not become active unless the port state becomes non-operational.
