You can use the display stack configuration command to check the default stack ID and stack
priority when the stack member starts this time and next time.

3.6 Configuration Examples
This section provides an example for configuring a stack in a ring topology.
3.6.1 Example for Configuring a Stack in a Ring Topology
Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 3-5, Switch A, Switch B, Switch C, and Switch D form a stack in a ring
topology. The stack system is automatically created. Switch A functions as the master switch,
whereas Switch B functions as a standby switch. After the active/standby switchover, the MAC
address of the stack system is immediately switched. To avoid updating MAC addresses of the
stack system frequently and wasting system resources, set the MAC address switchover time of
the stack system to 1 minute after the active/standby switchover.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
l Configure the MAC address switchover time of the stack system on the master switch.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
