57 Stacking Dell Networking Switches: N4032, N4032F, N4064, N4064F
Select the
Switch ID
to be assigned as the Standby. Check the “Configure as Standby” checkbox.
Note: Assigning the current Stack Master to the Standby role is not allowed using this method and
results in an error. Instead, use the
initiate failover
method described below.
Click Apply. Copying the running-configuration to the startup-configuration is not required. This setting
will be persistent after a reload. Verify the new Standby switch from the Stack Summary screen.
If there is a need to change the role of the Master or make the Standby the Master, use the initiate
failover command from the Command Line Interface. This command results in a warm restart of the
stack Master, triggering the Standby unit to take over as a new Master switch.
console(config)#stack
