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
 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu.


Choose the required VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens.


On the service tree, expand the site on which you want to perform the switchover.


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.


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.


Close the forms.
