Managing a Switch Stack

153

What is Stacking Standby?

A standby unit is preconfigured in the stack. If the current stack master fails, 

the standby unit becomes the stack master. If no switch is pre-configured as 

the standby unit, the software automatically selects a standby unit from the 

existing stack units.
When the failed master resumes normal operation, it joins the stack as a 

member (not a master) if the new stack master has already been elected.
The stack master copies its running configuration to the standby unit 

whenever it changes (subject to some restrictions to reduce overhead). This 

enables the standby unit to take over the stack operation with minimal 

interruption if the stack master becomes unavailable.
Operational state synchronization also occurs:

• when you save the running configuration to the startup configuration on 

the stack master.

• when the backup unit changes.

What is Nonstop Forwarding?

Networking devices are often described in terms of three semi-independent 

functions called the forwarding plane, the control plane, and the 

management plane. The forwarding plane forwards data packets and is 

implemented in hardware. The control plane is the set of protocols that 

determine how the forwarding plane should forward packets, deciding which 

data packets are allowed to be forwarded and where they should go. 

Application software on the stack master acts as the control plane. The 

management plane is application software running on the stack master that 

provides interfaces allowing a network administrator to configure the device. 
The Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) feature allows the forwarding plane of stack 

units to continue to forward packets while the control and management 

planes restart as a result of a power failure, hardware failure, or software fault 

on the stack master. This type of operation is called nonstop forwarding. 

When the stack master fails, only the switch ASICs on the stack master need 

to be restarted. 
To prevent adjacent networking devices from rerouting traffic around the 

restarting device, the NSF feature uses the following three techniques:
