Switch peer roles in the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center high availability pair

Switching peer roles in a high availability pair allows you to promote the standby Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center to active status if the current active appliance fails. This ensures that system functionality restricted to the active peer remains available.

Use this task when the active Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center in a high availability deployment becomes unavailable or you need to manually switch roles between peers. The system restricts some functionality to the active appliance, so switching roles maintains operational continuity.

Procedure

Step 1	Log into one of the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Centers that you paired using high availability.
Step 2	Choose Integration > Other Integrations, and then choose High Availability.
Step 3	Choose Switch Peer Roles to change the local role between Active and Standby. This switches the active and standby roles between the two peers, and the Primary and Secondary designations stay the same. In this context, role means the active or standby status of the management center, not the primary or secondary designation set during HA setup.
