Example:

To disable the network interface for the standby management module, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type
                  advfailover -ip off
               
To display the management module advanced failover setting, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type
                  advfailover
               

The following example shows the information that is returned from these two commands:

               system:mm[1]> advfailover -ip off
OK
system:mm[1]> advfailover
-ip off
system:mm[1]>
