Performing a Master/Standby Switchover in a Stack
Context
You can manually trigger a master/standby switchover in a stack if the current roles of member switches do not meet your requirement. For example, you can perform a master/standby switchover to change the roles after a restart or restore the original roles after an upgrade.
Before performing a master/standby switchover, ensure that the master switch has two MPUs.
