Do not perform maintenance or provisioning activities during the activation task.

For MS-SPRing nodes only, a non-service affecting APS-CHAN-FAILURE alarm is raised on each of 
the nodes joined to an activating node in the ring during activation. After the activation completes for 
that node, the alarms will clear. 

Cisco recommends that the first node you activate be a LAN-connected node. This ensures that the new
