Managing Device Information Managing Stacking 2 Master Election The Master and Backup unit selection is known as Master Election. Master Election takes place if there are one or more eligible candidates contending to be the Master unit. Master Election Candidate Eligibility In general, not all stack member units are eligible to be candidates for Master Election. Eligibility for Master Election is determined in the following order. STEP 1 All Master-enabled switching units present in a stack are candidates for Master Election. All units that are not Master-enabled are not eligible for Master Election. STEP 2 If there are no Master-enabled units present in a stack, then all units in factory default mode (Unit ID=0, Switch Operation Mode=Stack) are candidates for Master Election. No other units are eligible for Master Election. If neither Master-enabled nor factory default units are present, Master election does not take place and all units in the stack are effectively shut down. The stack remains in this inoperable state until either a new Master-enabled unit is connected to the stack or a current stack unit is manually reset to factory default mode (by pressing the reset switch on the front panel of the switch and holding it down for at least ten seconds). Master Election Selection Rules If there are two or more candidates for Master Election, the Stack Master is determined by comparing attributes of the contending units in a specific order. The order in which the attribute comparisons are made is: • 1 - Unit assigned by the system administrator as Force Master • 2 - Unit with the longest running time (measured in 10 minute increments) • 3 - Unit having Unit ID=1 • 4 - Unit having the lowest MAC address The Master Election proceeds by making the attribute comparisons in the above specified order. If there is a tie at any step, the election proceeds to the next step. However, units that fail to tie at any step are eliminated from the competition. Units that succeed in the tie in a given step, go on to compete in the next step. The election is decided at the first step for which there is a clear winner. The winner of that step is the winner of the Master Election and becomes the Master unit. Cisco Small Business SFE/SGE Managed Switches Administration Guide 19

Cisco Small Business SFE/SGE Managed Switches Administration Guide

Master Election

The Master and Backup unit selection is known as Master Election. Master Election

takes place if there are one or more eligible candidates contending to be the

Master unit.

Master Election Candidate Eligibility

In general, not all stack member units are eligible to be candidates for Master

Election. Eligibility for Master Election is determined in the following order.

STEP 1

All Master-enabled switching units present in a stack are candidates for Master

Election. All units that are not Master-enabled are not eligible for Master Election.

STEP 2

If there are no Master-enabled units present in a stack, then all units in factory

default mode (Unit ID=0, Switch Operation Mode=Stack) are candidates for Master

Election. No other units are eligible for Master Election.

If neither Master-enabled nor factory default units are present, Master election

does not take place and all units in the stack are effectively shut down. The stack

remains in this inoperable state until either a new Master-enabled unit is

connected to the stack or a current stack unit is manually reset to factory default

mode (by pressing the reset switch on the front panel of the switch and holding it

down for at least ten seconds).

Master Election Selection Rules

If there are two or more candidates for Master Election, the Stack Master is

determined by comparing attributes of the contending units in a specific order.

The order in which the attribute comparisons are made is:

•

1 - Unit assigned by the system administrator as Force Master

•

2 - Unit with the longest running time (measured in 10 minute increments)

•

3 - Unit having Unit ID=1

•

4 - Unit having the lowest MAC address

The Master Election proceeds by making the attribute comparisons in the above

specified order. If there is a tie at any step, the election proceeds to the next step.

However, units that fail to tie at any step are eliminated from the competition. Units

that succeed in the tie in a given step, go on to compete in the next step. The

election is decided at the first step for which there is a clear winner. The winner of

that step is the winner of the Master Election and becomes the Master unit.
