Manually switching over to the standby management module
This section describes how to manually switch the role of active management module from the
currently active module to the standby module.
Hitless switchover is also supported. An enhancement to the manual switchover feature, a hitless
switchover enables a switchover of the active management module to standby module without
interrupting switched traffic. For details, refer to “Layer 2 Hitless switchover” on page 111.
You can cause the system to switch over to the standby module (and thus make it the active
module). To do so, enter the following command.
