re-Adding one switch in existing stacking family

Hello Team,

need your urgent support.

I have os6900-T48C6 stacking family and priority are
200 master
180 standby
160 3rd switch
140 4th switch

now the first switch got faulty and i have rma and going to replace.

my question is after configuring vs configuration on first switch can i set same priority for the new switch or not. ?

if we can set same priority and can add in existing vs family it will not impact anything correct ?

why new master switch i have to reboot. in that case how it will become the master again. what is the process if i want to add the switch with higher priority in our existing family. so that my higher priority switch can become again master.

The default behavior for Virtual-Chassis election process: 1. Highest chassis priority value 2. longest chassis uptime 3. smallest chassis ID 4. smallest chassis MAC Address So when the current master (which has highest priority value) is rebooted, a new master will be elected. Once the old master is up, it will not become master again until the current master is rebooted

Hi Jain-manish94,

You can set the same priority as the old master switch, but after the new switch boot up, it will not pre-empt the current master.

When the “original” master comes back, no election will be processed, and the “new” Master will retain its Master
role.

Hope this solves your issue.

Regards,
