2960S Stack Member Priorities

[sdrawkcab]

I've been looking for a clear answer as to what defines a "higher priority" on the stack members.

Reading through the documentation for stack configuration and master election, It is unclear to me if a lesser integer or greater integer constitutes a higher priority. More simply put, is 1 the highest priority, or is 15 the highest priority possible?

Member Priority Values

A high priority value for a member increases the chance that it will be elected master and keep its member number. The priority value can be 1 to 15. The default priority value is 1.

Priority "15" is the highest value or priority.  A switch with a stack priority of "15" means "no election".
