# 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
