Based on the factors described in the
Election and Re-Election” section on page 5-6
, one
of the remaining stack members becomes the new
stack master. All other stack members in the stack
remain as stack members and do not reboot.

members

connect ten switches.

Two switches become stack masters. One stack
master has nine stack members. The other stack
master remains as a standalone switch.
Use the Mode button and port LEDs on the switches
to identify which switches are stack masters and
which switches belong to each stack master. For
information about using the Mode button and the
LEDs, see the hardware installation guide.
