Performing a Master/Standby Switchover
Context
If you want another switch in the stack to be the master switch, perform a master/standby switchover to change a standby switch to the new master switch.
After the master/standby switchover is complete, the role of each member switch in the stack changes as shown in Figure 3-39.
- The original standby switch becomes the master switch.
- The new master switch assigns a specified switch as the standby switch.
- The original master switch restarts and rejoins the stack and becomes a slave switch.
Procedure
- (Optional) Run the display switchover state command to check whether the stack meets requirements for a switchover.
- Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
- Run the slave switchover enable command to enable master/standby switchover.
By default, master/standby switchover is enabled.
- Run the slave switchover command to perform a master/standby switchover.
