On a new 3850 Stack the power stack light is orange and I was getting the following on the CLI/Logs
Switch 1's power stack has conflicting power priorities.
I have been able to change switch 2's priorities to be different than switch 1 which seems to have eliminated the errors but I am not sure if the settings I put in are good long term.
Can someone explain what the difference between the Low Port priority value, high port priority value, and switch priority values do in regard to stack power. My current priorities (after my changes) are below.
Are these ok or what can you recommend. Other 3850 stacks I have configured have never needed any changes in power stack configuration to avoid this error.
