If there is a need to change the role of the Master or make the Standby the Master, use the initiate
failover command from the Command Line Interface. This command results in a warm restart of the
stack Master, triggering the Standby unit to take over as a new Master switch.
console(config)#stack
console(config-stack)#initiate failover

Connection to host lost. This message is seen in telnet sessions.
If using the CLI through the console port, the session will no longer be valid. The console port on the
new Master switch will now be activated for management. The IP and MAC addresses of the stack
remains the same with the new Master. If using a telnet session, log in using the same IP address as
before.
