Valid Slot Assignments.
The illustration at left (showing a stacked
configuration with four switches) shows one
of many valid slot numbering possibilities.
• Although the slot numbers are not
sequential (4, 5, 6, and 3), all switches in
the stack have a unique slot number.
• The top switch in the stack does not
have to be designated as slot 1; for this
example, the top switch has been desig-
nated slot number 4.
• Because it has the lowest user-
assigned slot number, switch number 3
will be given the stack’s primary
management role in this example. Switch
number 4 will be given the secondary
role. Switches 5 and 6 will be given idle
status.
