Hi,

AV_Switch_1(config)# show stacking

Stack ID         : 0200c434-6b8f0e40

MAC Address      : c4346b-8838e3
Stack Topology   : Chain
Stack Status     : Active
Uptime           : 1d 1h 6m
Software Version : WB.15.11.0007

 Mbr
 ID  Mac Address   Model                                  Pri Status
 --- ------------- -------------------------------------- --- ---------------
 1   c4346b-8f0e40 HP J9729A 2920-48G-POE+ Switch         128 Standby
 3   c4346b-8838c0 HP J9726A 2920-24G Switch              128 Commander
AV_Switch_1(config)#

# redundancy switchover

standby will become commander

pay attention that the commander will reboot the primary image. It's wise to change the priority of the member so that in case of a complete reboot the 48 port will become the commander

Sietze,

so I issue that command from anywhere I connect the serial console in the Config prompt ?

after that it will just flip the order / fialover the status.

The slave will flipover to master, and the master will reboot. So your current master/commander will be rebooted.

I have tested it via console in enable mode. But I believe you can do it via telnet/ssh.
