6500 Native/High Avail - Switch between Sup Mods

[jrgarrigues]

Hello,

I have a 6500 in native mode with dual sup2 modules. How can I switch between the active and standby supervisor mod/msfc? I am in a lab now, and can do this by reloading, but I know there must be a better way.

Thanks in advance,

John

Thanks many bthekkek.

You wouldn't happen to have a URL for any documentation on this would you? This command gets me where I want to be, but I'd like to know more about it. Thanks again,

John
