Reloading Switches
If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former primary) assumes the
secondary role when it comes back up.
Primary - Slot 1
Secondary - Slot 2

Reloading the Primary Management Module In a Stack of Two

In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6450 switches, the slot
1 switch is the primary management module. The slot 2
switch is the secondary.
The user reloads the stack's primary management module
2
by issuing the reload primary command. Any data flow on
the primary switch's Ethernet is interrupted.
The secondary switch automatically takes over the pri-
3
mary role. Ethernet traffic on slot 2 remains unaffected.
Meanwhile the stack has no interim secondary manage-
ment module as the switch reboots.
When the rebooted switch comes back up, it assumes the
4
secondary management role within the stack.
