Stack master flip

[Mike_Hammett]

The power dropped to my master and thus the two switches flipped roles. How do I flip them back without just power cycling the now master?

[Mike_Hammett]

I reboot the second switch and the master goes back to the right switch, but the stack is still running on the fallback IP.

Sorry, yes, Summit x400s.

Hi Mike,

Assuming these are Summits, you can log into the stack and run the command 'run failover' to fail over mastership to the backup. However, this will cause the current master to reboot.
