In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6450 switches, the slot
1 switch is the primary management module. The slot 2
switch is the secondary.
A takeover is initiated by the user; the primary man-
2
agement module is automatically reloaded. Any data
flow on the primary switch's Ethernet is interrupted.
The secondary switch takes over the primary role.

Ethernet traffic on slot 2 remains unaffected. Mean-
while the stack has no interim secondary management
module as the switch reboots.
When the former primary switch comes back up, it

assumes the secondary management role within the
stack.
