What is apsProtectionLineState?

This enumerated value reports the current line condition of the protection (backup) port in an APS group, using the same signalFailure, signalDegrade, none, or notAvailable states as apsWorkingLineState. Admins check this before relying on the protection line, since a working-line failure can't be covered if the protection line itself is degraded or failed. For example, if apsWorkingLineState shows signalFailure and apsProtectionLineState also shows signalDegrade(2), the admin knows the redundant path is compromised too and needs urgent attention rather than routine follow-up.
