Forcing a Switchover

The force-switchover now command forces an immediate switchover to the standby CSM card.

CLI Syntax:

If the active and standby CSMs are not synchronized for some reason, users can manually synchronize the standby CSM by rebooting the standby by issuing the admin reboot standby command on the active or the standby CSM.
