F5 recommends forcing a BIG-IP system to standby using either the CLI failover command or the Local Device (Self) option in the GUI.

✅ A. tmsh run /sys failover device standby

This is the recommended CLI method

Explicitly forces the local (active) device into standby

Commonly used during maintenance and troubleshooting

✅ B. Configuration Utility > Device Management > Devices > Local Device (Self) > Force to Standby

This is the recommended GUI method

Applies the action directly to the local device

Safely transfers traffic to the peer device
