Stack 1 Backup/Stack 2 Master Flip-Flop

[Stanley_Riley_J]

So last night we had stack 1 of our 3 switch stack go down due to a UPS problem. Fail-over occurred perfectly and stack 2 became the master. Once we fixed the UPS, the stack 1 switch came back up without a problem. Now stack 2 is the master and stack 1 is the backup. What is the easiest and safest way to get stack 1 back as the master and stack 2 back as the backup?

Thanks for your time and answers,
Stan

Hey Joe, thanks for your quick reply!

The 3rd node is not master capable.

Do I need to power cycle the device, or can I just do the command 'reboot slot 2'?

Hey Stan,

is the 3rd node in the stack a standby? Is it master capable? If not master capable, you can just reboot slot 2 and slot 1 will regain mastership.
