This read-write SwitchPortAction object lets a management station perform the specified switch action on the Ethernet NTE GE114 Pro VM-CH Card, such as forcing or clearing a port-level protection switch. It matters because it gives an operator direct SNMP control over switching behavior on the Ethernet NTE GE114 Pro VM-CH Card without needing local craft access, useful for testing or clearing a protection state remotely. For example, after confirming a primary port on the Ethernet NTE GE114 Pro VM-CH Card has recovered, the operator sets this object to switch traffic back rather than leaving it on the protection path.
