connecting 4 6248 switch using stacking unit
Hi,
I have 4 6248 units. connected according to page 5 here :
http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pwcnt/en/pwcnt_stacking_switches.pdf
the manual states that the units has to be brought up in a certain order master be turned on first and then the rest of the units .
what happens when I have power failure ?
from the little experience I had, it took several times of restarts to the units until all the network was reachable (sometimes other units took over as master etc etc.)
Thank you for any clarification.
Nedz.

Thank you for your reply.
in my scenario I have 4 switches connected via stacking cables.
today one of the switches ups failed and as soon as it got up all the remaining 3 switches became masters.
this also resulted in the network not being reachable for some of the clients
only bringing the switches back up at the right order fixed network availability.
I really don't mind other units being masters as long as the network keeps working.
any Idea on why this would happen ?
Thank you
