Command History
Usage Guidelines
The
redundancy switch-activity
command is similar to the
redundancy force-failover main-cpu
command, except that it includes an option to force the switchover, overriding any configuration checks
or other checks in the software that could prevent the switchover. In all cases, this command verifies that
the standby PRE module is available and capable of performing the switchover before it transfers control
to that PRE module. This command also synchronizes the current running-config and client data before
initiating the switchover.
Examples
The following example shows a switchover being manually initiated, overriding any checks that might
prevent or delay the switchover:
Router#
redundancy switch-activity force
Proceed with switchover to standby PRE? [confirm]
y
Note
Pressing
enter
or
y
confirms the action and begins the switchover. Pressing any other key aborts the
switchover and returns control to the current active PRE1 module.
force
(Optional) Forces a switchover immediately, overriding any checks in the
code or configuration that might prevent or delay a switchover.
