Hi
All its been a while since i worked with switches in a stack. I have 5 and the have massive cpu for last 5 days down to fed processes. I see there is a bug advertised by cisco. But in the short term I want to reboot. I have no support hardware or software and these are productions switches. So i want to reboot one by one.
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 5897.bd2f.2580 - Local Mac Address
Mac persistency wait time: Indefinite
H/W Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
------------------------------------------------------------
1 Member 5897.bd2f.2580 15 V01 Ready
2 Standby 5897.bd10.0100 1 V01 Ready
*3 Active 188b.9dfc.3100 1 V01 Ready
4 Member 84b2.615c.8980 1 V03 Ready
5 Member 84b2.615c.8500 1 V03 Ready
Why is the priority switch appearing as 1 Member and not active?
If i want to restart switch 3 is the command? or what does slot mean?
reload slot 3

Connect to the master and issue
reload slot (X) from privileged mode
e.g
Sw1#reload slot 1
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
Switch 1 reloading...

Why is the priority switch appearing as 1 Member and not active?
-> there is no preempt activated
so at a time where member 1 was unavailable member 3 became the active switch
and when member 1 was available again, the current status remained (3 active )
If i want to restart switch 3 is the command? or what does slot mean?
reload slot 3
-> that is correct the slot refers to modular switches where you reload a card in a slot
for a stack like this it refers to the stack-member
To reload the stack member and to apply a configuration change, use the reload command in privileged EXEC mode.
reload [ /noverify | /verify ] [ LINE | at | cancel | in | slot stack-member-number | standby-cpu ]
If there is more than one switch in the switch stack, and you enter the reload slot stack-member-number command, you are not prompted to save the configuration.
-> be aware of this if you reload the active member using the slot option
