NOTE: If unit 1 is the master unit and unit 1 becomes unavailable, unit 2 will immediately become the master unit. If unit 1 becomes available again within 10 minutes, unit 1 will be restored as the master unit. If unit 1 becomes available after 10 minutes, unit 2 will remain the master unit. In this case, to restore unit 1 as the master unit, set Master Election to specify unit 1 as the master unit, then reboot the stack.
