# `/sys/step-down`

|
|
|
|
The `/sys/step-down` endpoint causes the node to give up active status.
|
|
|
|
## Step down leader
|
|
|
|
The step-down endpoint forces nodes to give up "active" status. If you
|
|
call the endpoint against a non-active node, for example, a DR or
|
|
performance standby node, Vault forwards the request to the active
|
|
node.
|
|
|
|
Note that the node will sleep
|
|
for ten seconds before attempting to grab the active lock again, but if no
|
|
standby nodes grab the active lock in the interim, the same node may become the
|
|
active node again. Requires a token with `root` policy or `sudo` capability on
|
|
the path.
