GS700TS Smart Switch Software Administration Manual
Managing System Settings 3-14
v1.0, June 2009
The Basic Stack Configuration screen contains the following fields:
• Master Election – Select the mode by which the Stacking Master is elected.
When the
stack is powered up and completes the boot-up process, the Master unit is elected within
0.5 seconds. Master election is based on MAC address selection. The possible field values
are:
– Automatically – Indicates the Stacking Master is selected automatically by software.
– Force Master – Forces the selection of a Stacking Master. This causes the new Master
unit to take control of the current configuration of the Stack. The old Master is reset
and becomes the Secondary Master. Note that only Unit 1 or Unit 2 can be the
Stacking Master.
2. Select the Master Election mode.
3. If you selected Force Master, select either 1 or 2 from the Unit Number list.
4. Click APPLY to update the device.
5. Reset the device for the new settings to take effect. See “Reset” for detailed instructions on
resetting the device.
