Configuring and clearing a manual switch

Manual switch (MS) is an operator-initiated process, configured by means of the manual-switch command, that manually blocks a desired port in a ring. You need to explicitly specify the VLAN, Ethernet slot, and port from the desired device.

The following example configures and clears a manual switch.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# erp 1
device(config-erp-1)# manual-switch vlan 5 ethernet 0/1

Use the no manual-switch command to remove the manual switch mechanism.
