  2. From the CLI command prompt, perform one of the steps below, depending on your configuration. For example, in SBC Core, set bond monitoring type to network-connect and leader election algorithm type to enhanced:

    > request system admin sbx1 setHaConfig bondMonitoring network-connect leaderElection enhanced
