This read-write SwitchPortAction object lets a management station perform the specified switch action on the Ethernet NTE GO102ProS 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 GO102ProS 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 GO102ProS Card has recovered, the operator sets this object to switch traffic back rather than leaving it on the protection path.
