Catalyst 3850 Stacking

[rioneljeudy]

I put 3 Cat 3850 in a stack. The first switch comes up as "Active", the second switch comes up as "Standby" and the 3rd switch comes up as "member". Is this normal? If not, how can I fix it?

witch#sh switch 
Switch/Stack Mac Address : f0b2.e591.f800 - Local Mac Address
Mac persistency wait time: Indefinite
                                             H/W   Current
Switch#   Role    Mac Address     Priority Version  State 
------------------------------------------------------------
*1       Active   f0b2.e591.f800     15     V05     Ready               
 2       Standby  84b5.1702.a780     14     V05     Ready               
 3       Member   84b5.1712.9480     13     V05     Ready

Hello

Yes, this is an expected behavior. Please refer to the CCO documentation for more clarification:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-3850-series-switches/deployment_guide_c07-727067.html

There are multiple examples in the above document that would show that only one switch can be in hot-standby mode, rest others will be members.

Hope this helps.
