+The `REPLICAOF` command can change the replication settings of a replica on the
+fly.
+
+If a Redis server is already acting as replica, the command `REPLICAOF` NO ONE
+will turn off the replication, turning the Redis server into a MASTER. In the
+proper form `REPLICAOF` hostname port will make the server a replica of another
+server listening at the specified hostname and port.
+
+If a server is already a replica of some master, `REPLICAOF` hostname port will
+stop the replication against the old server and start the synchronization
+against the new one, discarding the old dataset.
+
+The form `REPLICAOF` NO ONE will stop replication, turning the server into a
+MASTER, but will not discard the replication. So, if the old master stops
+working, it is possible to turn the replica into a master and set the
+application to use this new master in read/write. Later when the other Redis
+server is fixed, it can be reconfigured to work as a replica.
