Disconnecting and Reconnecting HA

You can disconnect the two devices in the HA system and return them to standalone devices.

➢

To disconnect HA through CLI:

1.

From the CLI of the active device, connect (Telnet) to the redundant device, by typing the following command:

# debug ha conn-to-red

2.

Log in to the redundant device's CLI with its username (e.g., Admin) and password:

Username: Admin
Password: 

3.

Access the Privileged mode, by typing the following command, and the mode's password:

> enable
Password:
# 

4.

At the prompt, type the following command and enter a new OAMP IP address for the redundant device:

# debug ha disconnect-system <New OAMP Address for Redundant Device>

The redundant device restarts, the HA status of the active device changes to "Standalone", and the redundant device now becomes a non-HA device.

You can later restore the HA system, by following the below procedure.

➢

To restore the HA system through CLI:

1.

On the previously redundant device, configure the HA Maintenance interface address of the active device:

(config-network)# high-availability
(ha)# remote-address <HA Maintenance Address of Active Device>

The HA Maintenance address can alternatively be configured in the Redundant device's Web interface's 'HA Remote Address' parameter.

2.

Restart the redundant device:

(ha)# do reload now
