Solved: Powering up Stack switches

mahesh18 · ‎08-17-2015

Hi Everyone,

During weekend we had Power Maintenance and at that time all Network devices will go down.

Some of switches are configured as stack.

When i power on Stack switch does it matter which switch i power on first?

Do i need to follow any particular order to power on stack switches?

When power comes back will there be any issue if new switch becomes master?

Regards

MAhesh

Hi Mahesh,

I would power on the master first (assuming the master has the highest priority) than 20 seconds later the switch that has the next highest priority and than the next and so on. This way, your master will still be master and the members will be members based on priority.
