How do I move out of 1:1 redundancy mode?

[JamesEdmondsAspall]

I have 2x 9200L switches connected via Stackwise cables.

They have detected and come up as a stack, but seemingly in 1:1 redundancy mode as one shows "standby hot".

This is not what I want, but the software config guide suggests a command of

switch clear stack-mode

This does nothing.

How the hell do I actually get this into an active/active stack?

Thanks

James

Cat 9200 support only Stack, Means 1 will act as Master (other will be member or slave)

can you post show switch output ?

Not sure where you got the idea of Active / Active ?

Sorry, what I mean by active/active is that both switches are active and act as one switch, rather than one being active and one being an HA hot spare.

I am expecting my secondary switch to show as a member, not standby, as it does below:

ASP-ASW-01#show switch stack-mode
Switch#  Role    Mac Address     Version   Mode  Configured  State
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*1      Active   4c5d.3c15.9200    V01     N+1'    None'      Ready
 2      Standby  4c5d.3c16.4a00    V01     N+1'    None'      Ready

Here is show switch:

Switch/Stack Mac Address : 4c5d.3c15.9200 - Local Mac Address
Mac persistency wait time: Indefinite
                                             H/W   Current
Switch#   Role    Mac Address     Priority Version  State
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*1       Active   4c5d.3c15.9200     1      V01     Ready
 2       Standby  4c5d.3c16.4a00     1      V01     Ready

You know what, nevermind.

I come from a Meraki house where this stuff is effortlessly simple. I've just had to read most of the doc you linked to to find that what they are referring to as a standby, is a standby master, i.e. the switch that will take ownership of control of the stack in the event of a failover.

Case closed.

Sure Meraki switches is different, yes(i did had confustion - when i did first time) your config is good,. not required any action here.
