Why is [Force to Standby] button in disabled state?

Hello S Blakely,

Thank you for the prompt response. I checked the link you provided. I have very little or no knowledge about Load Aware. When I set Advanced Setup Options > Failover Method to Load Aware, update and click Force to Standby, does the second device (current Standby) automatically turns into Active or do I have to add extra settings to make the second device to Active?

What I want to achieve is:

1. Perform maintenance task on current Standby.
2. Force the current Active to Standby, so that the second device becomes Active.
3. The traffic flows towards the new Active device and it processes them with no problem.
4. Perform maintenance task on device forced to Standby.

I want to know about the safest way to achieve above, without data/config sync problems.

Thank You
