Directing the standby module to become active

Syntax


redundancy switchover

Causes a switchover to the standby module.

For nonstop switching, the warning displays: "A nonstop switching failover will occur; L2 operations will not be interrupted. This management module will now reboot and will become the standby module! You will need to use the other management module's console interface. Do you want to continue [y/n]?"

In warm-standby mode the warning displays: "A warm failover will occur; all networking operations will be interrupted. This management module will now reboot and will become the standby module! You will need to use the other management module's console interface. Do you want to continue [y/n]?"

If management module redundancy has been disabled, or if there is no standby module, or if the standby module is not in standby mode, this message displays:

The other management module does not exist or is not in standby mode
