Figure 4-16-6Stack Configuration page screenshot

The page includes the following fields:

Object		Description
•	Delete	Deletes this switch from the stack configuration.
•	Stack Member	The MAC address of the switch.
•	Switch ID	The Switch ID (1-16) assigned to a switch. For more information, see description
		of Switch IDs
•	Master Capable	Indicates whether a switch is capable of being master. An unmanaged switch, for
		example, will not be Master Capable.
•	Master Priority	The priority that the switch has in the master election process.
		The smaller the priority, the more likely the switch will become master during the
		master election process.
•	Switch Type	The product name of the switch.

•Start Master Election By checking this option, the "Save" operation will also start the master election process.

This is done by clicking "Start Master Election", followed by "Save". This causes the first two criteria to be ignored, thereby basing master election only on master priority and MAC address. When master election is enforced, the first two criteria are ignored for a period of 10-15 seconds.

On the Stack State Monitor web page, this is shown by "Reelect" being set to "Yes" for one of the switches in the stack.
