2.8.2 The Original Master and Standby Switches Are in Different
Stacks After the Original Stack Splits
As shown in Figure 2-14, after a stack splits into two new stacks, the original master and
standby switches in the stack belong to two different stacks. The master switch specifies a
new standby switch, recalculates the stack topology information, and synchronizes the
information to other member switches as shown in Figure 2-8. The original standby switch
becomes the master switch of the other stack, recalculates the stack topology information, and
synchronizes the information to other member switches as shown in Figure 2-7. Figure 2-15
shows the packet exchange process.
