In a regular (single chassis) endpoint scenario, the following command can be used to force a specific SDP binding (pseudowire) to become active:
tools perform service id service-id endpoint endpoint-name force
In the MC-EP case, this command has a similar effect when there is a single forced SDP binding in an MC-EP. The forced SDP binding (pseudowire) is selected as active.
However, when the command is run at the same time as both MC-EP PEs, when the endpoints belong to the same MC-EP, the regular MC-EP selection algorithm (for example, the operational status ⇒ precedence value) is applied to determine the winner.
