Contents |
Usage Syntax
bigpipe failover [options]
The two available options are;
- standby - forces an active device to assume the standby role
- failback - restores an active/active configuration after a device failure
Usage Examples
bigpipe failover - display current failover status
bigpipe failover standby - force device to assume the standby role
Usage Notes
In most cases you should not need to use this command as failover and failback occur automatically.
Bigpipe Usage Notes
Don't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command.
Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.
The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.
Where curly or normal brackets {} or () or quotes "" or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the bash shell from parsing them as system commands.
Typical Output
[user@test:Active] ~ # b failover FAILOVER active for 29 days 05:45:56
