DXS-3610 Series Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide of the stacking ports links is down. Once the device has been removed, the remaining Switches will update their stacking topology database to reflect the change. Any one of the three roles, Primary Master, Backup Master, or Slave, may be removed from the stack, yet a different process occurs for each specific device removal. If a Slave device has been removed, the Primary Master will inform other Switches of the hot remove of this device through the use of unit leave messages. Switches in the stack will clear the configuration of the unit removed, and dynamically learned databases, such as ARP, will also be cleared. If the Backup Master has been hot removed, a new Backup Master will be chosen through the election process previously described. Switches in the stack will clear the configuration of the unit removed, and dynamically learned databases, such as ARP, will also be cleared. Then the Backup Master will begin backing up the Primary Master when the database synchronization has been completed by the stack. If the Primary Master is removed, the Backup Master will assume the Primary Master's role and a new Backup Master will be chosen using the election process. Switches in the stack will clear the configuration of the unit removed, and 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. 99
