# operator step-down
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `operator step-down` forces the Vault server at the given address to step
|
||
|
down from active duty. While the affected node will have a delay before
|
||
|
attempting to acquire the leader lock again, if no other Vault nodes acquire the
|
||
|
lock beforehand, it is possible for the same node to re-acquire the lock and
|
||
|
become active again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
||
|
Force a Vault server to step down as the leader:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```text
|
||
|
$ vault operator step-down
|
||
|
Success! Stepped down: http://127.0.0.1:8200
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are no flags beyond the [standard set of flags](/docs/commands/index.html)
|
||
|
included on all commands.
