Hi Lake,
Are you sure there were no stack related configs present in that switch before it was powered on ??
The switch which you have powered on is identified as 2nd switch in the stack which is a master.......its not necessary that your master switch has to be numbered as 1. It can be any numbers.........I am not sure why it has considered it as switch number 2.
Incase you want to keep as stack 1. Then you can do these things.
- Power on the other switch then switch 1 status will be shown as "Ready" if everything goes well.....(all will go well if you have same IOS versions and with default priority)
- Renumber the member switch 1 to 3 using command switch 1 renumber 3
- Reload member Switch 1 (that is the switch that was powered on 2nd)
- Renumber master switch 2 to 1 using command switch 2 renumber 1
- Save configurations to nvram
- Power Off member Switch
- Reload the master switch
- Renumber member switch 3 to 2 using command switch 3 renumber 2
- Power on member switch
- Save configurations to nvram
Not sure if you might now need a reload for both master and member switch. (you can reload both and see if the numbers doesnt get changed from 3 to 2)
Now your desired master switch will be shown as switch stack 1.
