Hi navin,

 

Login to the active system using https access. Just go to the System >> Configurations

 

Drag it the page till end and click 'standby'. The system immediately becomes standby mode and your redundant device becomes active (assume both are in perfect sync state).

 

Another suggestion is , move your management connectivity to an internal lan. It is highly recommend that management should be restricted and should not allow it from internet because bad guys can bring your network down.
