Unit ID Assignment Each switch in the stack has a unique unit ID that defines the unit’s position
and function in the stack.
Figure2-2 describes the stacking LEDs on the front panel of the switch.

The Unit ID of each switch can be either automatically assigned or manually
assigned, as described below.
Automatic Assignment
When you power-up the stack, each switch is assigned a unique Unit ID. This
is displayed on the front panel of the switch, as shown in Figure2-2.
The switch that is assigned Unit ID 1 is the Master unit, by default. The
switch that is assigned Unit ID 2 is the Master Backup unit.
