If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former primary) assumes the
secondary role when it comes back up.
Reloading the Primary Management Module In a Stack of Two
In this stack of two switches, the slot 1 switch is the primary man-
agement module. The slot 2 switch is the secondary.
The user reloads the stack’s primary management module by issuing
the
reload primary
command. Any data flow on the primary
switch’s Ethernet is interrupted.
The secondary switch automatically takes over the primary role.
Ethernet traffic on slot 2 remains unaffected. Meanwhile the stack
has no interim secondary management module as the switch
reboots.
