GS752TXS and GS728TXS Smart Switches Factory Defaults Reset Behavior The configurations applied on GS752TXS/GS728TXS would be automatically saved to the flash. The stack manager automatically distributes the configuration to the stack members. If the stack manager becomes unavailable, a stack member can become the new stack manager and apply the configuration that was saved on the original stack manager. The stack manager initializes the stack using the last saved system configuration that is stored in its local FLASH. When the stack manager is reset to the factory default settings, the stack manager applies default settings to all the stack members and resets the stack including the participating stack members. Stack Manager Election and Reelection The stack manager is elected or reelected based on one of these factors and in the order listed: • The switch that is currently the stack manager • The switch with the highest stack member priority value Note: NETGEAR recommends assigning the highest priority value to the switch that you prefer to be the stack manager. This ensures that the switch is reelected as stack manager if a re-election occurs. • The switch with the higher MAC address A stack manager retains its role unless one of these events occurs: • The stack manager is removed from the switch stack • The stack manager is reset or powered off • The stack manager has failed • The switch stack membership is increased by adding powered-on standalone switches or switch stacks In the case of a manager reelection, the new stack manager becomes available after a few seconds. If a new stack manager is elected and the previous stack manager becomes available, the previous stack manager does not resume its role as stack manager. 83
