# 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.
The `operator step-down` forces the active Vault node within an [HA cluster](/docs/concepts/ha)
to step down from active duty. When executed against a non-active node, i.e. a
standby or [performance standby](/docs/enterprise/performance-standby) node,
the request will be forwarded to the active node. 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.
