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:

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.
