Configuring an Active/Standby Switchover

Context

If the master switch in a stack fails, manually perform a master/standby switchover. After the master/standby switchover is complete, the previous master switch joins the stack after restarting, and the previous standby switch becomes the new master switch.

Before performing an active/standby switchover, run the display switchover state command to check whether the system meets active/standby switchover requirements. During an active/standby switchover, ensure that the standby switch is in real-time backup state.

Procedure

  1. (Optional) Run display switchover state

    The active/standby switchover status is displayed. According to the status, determine whether the stack meets switchover requirements.

  2. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  3. Run slave switchover enable

    Active/standby switchover is enabled.

    By default, the active/standby switchover function is enabled.

  4. Run slave switchover

    An active/standby switchover is performed.
