DGS-3130 Series Layer 3 Stackable Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide dynamically learned databases, such as ARP, will also be cleared. The new Primary Master will inherit the MAC and IP address of the previous Primary Master to avoid conflict within the stack and the network itself. If both the Primary Master and the Backup Master are removed, the election process is immediately initiated, and a new Primary Master and Backup Master are elected. Switches in the stack will clear the configuration of the units that have been removed, and dynamically learned databases, such as ARP, will also be cleared. Static Switch configuration still remains in the database of the remaining Switches in the stack and those functions will not be affected. NOTE: If there is a Box ID conflict when the stack is in the discovery phase, the device will enter a special standalone topology mode. Users can only get device information, configure Box IDs, save and reboot. All stacking ports will be disabled and an error message will be produced on the local console port of each device in the stack. Users must reconfigure Box IDs and reboot the stack to rectify the problem. NOTE: When constructing a stacking with different switch models, static box_id setting is recommended. If a new inserted switch box_id's device type is different from the configuration file box_id's device type, the new inserted switch will use default configurations.
