During this configured interval, if the previous Active Controller is reinstalled in the stack, the stack continues to use the MAC address of this unit, even though it may no longer be the Active Controller. If the previous Active Controller does not rejoin the stack during the specified time interval, the stack assumes the address of the new Active Controller as the stack MAC address.

During this configured interval, if the previous Active Controller is reinstalled in the
stack, the stack continues to use the MAC address of this unit, even though it may
no longer be the Active Controller. If the previous Active Controller does not rejoin
the stack during the specified time interval, the stack assumes the address of the
new Active Controller as the stack MAC address.
