High Availability on Stacks
Stacks have master and standby management units analogous to Dell Networking route processor modules (RPM).
The master unit synchronizes the running configuration and protocol states so that the system fails over in the event of a hardware
or software fault on the master unit. In such an event, or when the master unit is removed, the standby unit becomes the stack
manager and Dell Networking OS elects a new standby unit. Dell Networking OS resets the failed master unit: after online, it
becomes a member unit; the remaining members remain online.

Management Access on Stacks
You can access the stack via the console port or VTY line.
•
Console access
— You may access the stack through the console port of the master unit (stack manager) only. Similar to a
standby RPM, the console port of the standby unit does not provide management capability; only a limited number of commands
are available. Member units provide a limited set of commands.
•
Remote access
— You may access the master unit and standby unit in a stack through the dedicated management Ethernet
interfaces with SNMP, SSH, or via Telnet.
