Figure 121. Supported Stacking Topologies
High Availability on Stacks
Stacks have master and standby management units analogous to Dell Networking route processor modules (RPM).
The master unit synchronizes the running conguration and protocol states so that the system fails over in the event of a hardware or
software fault on the master unit. In such an event, or when the master unit is removed, the standby unit becomes the stack manager and
Dell Networking OS elects a new standby unit. Dell Networking OS resets the failed master unit: after online, it becomes a member unit; the
remaining members remain online.
