Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6450 Stacks
page 7-28 OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide September 2015
If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former primary) assumes the
secondary role when it comes back up.
Reloading the Primary Management Module In a Stack of Two
In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6450 switches, the slot
1 switch is the primary management module. The slot 2
switch is the secondary.
The user reloads the stack’s primary management module
by issuing the reload primary command. Any data flow on
the primary switch’s Ethernet is interrupted.
The secondary switch automatically takes over the pri-
mary role. Ethernet traffic on slot 2 remains unaffected.
Meanwhile the stack has no interim secondary manage-
ment module as the switch reboots.
