When you separate, or "break," a 7000 or 8000 Series device high-availability pair:
• The active peer (device or stack) retains full deployment functionality
• The standby peer (device or stack) loses its interface configurations and fails over to the active peer,
unless you choose to leave the interface configurations active, in which case the standby peer resumes
normal operation.
• The standby peer always loses the configuration of passive interfaces.
• Any peer in maintenance mode resumes normal operation.
