To force a switchover to a redundant spoke SDP binding
Prerequisites
This procedure can only be performed on a VPLS that has been configured with endpoints that are associated redundant spoke SDP bindings.
Steps
1 |
Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. |
2 |
Choose the required VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens. |
3 |
On the service tree, expand the site on which you want to perform the switchover. |
4 |
Right-click on the redundant spoke SDP binding under an endpoint for the site for which you want to perform the switchover and choose Force Switchover. |
5 |
You can clear the switchover at a later time by performing Step 1 to Step 4 again and selecting the Clear Forced Switchover. Note: You must clear a manually forced switchover by using the Clear Forced Switchover button when the active spoke SDP binding is restored. The NFM-P cannot automatically switch to another active spoke SDP binding if this is not done. |
6 |
Close the forms. End of steps |
