Hi Expert,
Do you know if it is normal to have the following output in one of the stacks we have:
switch# show switch
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 885a.927f.9544:Local Mac Address
Mac persistency wait time: Indefinite
H/W Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
------------------------------------------------------------
*1 Active 885a.927f.5180 15 A0 Ready
2 Standby 1005.ca84.0480 14 A0 Ready
3 Member 1005.ca83.4acc 13 A0 Ready
4 Member 1005.ca84.4148 12 A0 Ready
5 Member 885a.925d.4581 11 A0 Ready
6 Member 885a.925d.7424 10 A0 Ready
what does it mean the "*" symbol in the active line?
why we have the standby?
I just want to know if this is a regular output, just wanna make sure the current health is fine with the stack

Hi Alex
The "standby" state is a normal behavior, it will take the active role once the current active switch is down. About the (*):
A stack master keeps its role unless one of these events occurs:
In the events marked by an asterisk (*), the current stack master might be re-elected based on the listed factors.

Thanks for the explanation. I now understand the output, I was thinking there was something bad with it.
Thanks so much,
