Answer

The only way to trigger a port switch is to either:

  • Physically disconnect the active port, or
  • Administratively disable it using a command such as:

::> network port modify -node <node-name> -port <port-name> -admin-status down

To bring the port back up, use:

::> network port modify -node <node-name> -port <port-name> -admin-status up
