Gaining Control from the Primary MPX
The takeover command tells the secondary MPX to take control and become the primary MPX.
It does this by issuing a request to the primary MPX to relinquish control. You must be logged
into the secondary MPX to use this command. If you are logged into the primary MPX, use the
renounce command, which is described in Giving Up Control to the Secondary MPX on page 6-
14.
♦ Warning ♦
The
takeover command should only be used during
network down times since it could cause network inter-
ruptions.
To transfer control from primary
MPX to the secondary MPX, enter
takeover
at the system prompt. The following prompt will display.
Confirm? (n):
Press y to transfer control to the secondary MPX or press n to cancel the command (the
default is n). If you enter y, the switch will reset after displaying the messages similar to the
following.
System going down immediately...

... Alcatel SNMP Agent Operational.
The switch will reboot and the original secondary MPX will be the primary once the switch
comes back up.
