The following recommendations should be followed if a more powerful and capable SummitX stackable switch is part of the SummitStack configuration: 1) One of the most powerful switches must be the Master node of a SummitStack. 2) One of the most powerful switches must be the Backup node of a SummitStack. 3) To use the failover feature offered by SummitStack architecture, the user must have at least 2 more powerful switches configured in the stack as Master and Backup nodes.
Configure the stacking parameters to allow the most powerful and capable nodes in the stack to become the Master and Backup nodes. This may be done by changing the master-capability, the priorty, or both of those stacking parameters for one or more stack nodes.
Notice
There are Standby stack nodes which are more powerful and more capable than the Master and/or Backup stack nodes. This configuration is not recommended for optimal stack performance.
