# 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
```
## Usage
There are no flags beyond the [standard set of flags](/docs/commands/index.html)
included on all commands.
