See also getAllProtectionGroups_T. protection groups This service returns the names of the Protection Groups containing the given PhysicalTerminationPoint.

This service is needed so that even if a filter is established, the NMS can query the status of a protection group.

This is the response of the getEProtectionGroup operation. See also getEProtectionGroup_T. the returned equipment protection group. This operation is used to get the current status of a Protection Group. This service is needed so that even if a filter is established, the NMS can query the status of a protection group. Raises ProcessingFailureException EXCPT_INTERNAL_ERROR - Raised in case of non-specific OS internal failure EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when pgName does not reference a protection group EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND - Raised when pgName references a PG object that does not exist EXCPT_COMM_FAILURE - Raised when communication to an entity (needed to help fulfill the request) is lost name of the protection group that the client is interested in. This is the response of the getProtectionGroup operation. See also getProtectionGroup_T. the returned protection group. This service is used by the NMS to get the latest switch status on an equipment protection group. For a retrieval of a revertive M:N group, N ESwitchData_T are returned as a result of retrieveESwitchData (one for each worker equipment instance). For a retrieval of a non-revertive M:N group, N ESwitchData_T are returned as a result of retrieveESwitchData (one for each active equipment instance). Raises ProcessingFailureException EXCPT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED - Raised when an OS is unable to support this service EXCPT_INTERNAL_ERROR - Raised in case of non-specific OS internal failure EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when ePGPName does not reference an equipment object EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND - Raised when ePGPName references object which does not exist EXCPT_COMM_FAILURE - Raised when communication to an entity (needed to help fulfill the request) is lost This is the equipment protection group name for which the switch data is being requested. This is the response of the retrieveESwitchData operation. See also retrieveESwitchData_T. The current protection switch status of the equipment protection group provided. This service is used by the NMS to get the latest switch status on a SNC or a MSP group. It should be noted that although the term MSP was chosen as the original specific protection scheme to which the related behaviour applied was Multiplex Section Protection, the label is now more generally applied to any 1+1 or 1:N Trail protection scheme. When used on the reliable CTP/FTP of an SNC, a single struct is returned and the group name is NULL. The switchToTP indicates the presently active source of the traffic to the protectedTP. When used on a 1+1 MSP, a single struct is provided with the relevant data. When used on a 1:N MSP, a struct per worker TP is presented with protectedTP being the worker TP Name and the switchToTP identifying the present source of the traffic. When used on a 2F BLSR, two structs are returned, one per TP. In a stable state, the protectedTP and the switchToTP are the same TP. In a switched state, the switchToTP is the same for both protectedTPs. When used on a 4F BLSR, two structs are returned, each one identifying a span with the protectedTP being the worker TP and the switchToTP identifying the present source of the ring traffic for that span.

The termination point name must be explicit (a generic endpoint specification may not be used in this case). This is the response of the retrieveSwitchData operation. See also retrieveSwitchData_T. The current protection switch status of the CTP, FTP or PG provided.
