Syntax

no redundancy preferred-active-management {management-module1 | management-module2}

Description

Configures priority to specified management-module to be active management module across multiple boots. Command does not change management module roles instantaneously and would require a reboot for configuration to come into effect.

The no form of this command removes the configuration for the preferred-active-management module.

NOTE:

The command redundancy preferred-active-management requires a reboot for the configuration to change.

Command context

config

Parameters

management-module <1> | <2>: Configures selected management module as an active management module across multiple reboots.

Restrictions

The command redundancy preferred-active-management is mutually exclusive with VSF. The preferred-management-module must be disabled to enable VSF on an ArubaOS-switch.
When a preferred module taking over as an Active module fails, a fail-over to another management module will occur. User intervention must rectify the cause for the failure or if a chassis reboot is attempted, the attempt may fail. In the case of a boot, there will be an extra redundancy switchover.

Example

Configuring preferred active management module.

switch(config)# redundancy preferred-active-management management-module1

switch(config)# show running config
