ha traffic-dist

Use this command to manually override the traffic distribution status of a cluster member in Active-Active High-Volume (AAH) mode. This is a runtime command typically used for maintenance or troubleshooting to force a node into a specific state without modifying the global HA configuration.

Note: This override is temporary and is not persistent. The manual status will automatically reset to the system's default election logic after a reboot. This command is only functional when the HA mode is set to active-active-high-volume.

Syntax

execute ha traffic-dist {active | standby | status}

Variable	Description	Default
active	Manually promotes the appliance to active status for traffic distribution. The unit will begin processing traffic destined for its assigned Virtual IPs (VIPs).	No default.
standby	Forces the appliance into standby status. The unit will stop processing traffic, allowing you to perform maintenance or observe failover behavior without disconnecting cables.	No default.
status	Displays the current manual override state of the appliance (e.g., whether it is currently forced into active or standby mode).	No default.
