Manual Slot Numbering And Management Role Assignment - Alcatel OS6850-48L Getting Started Manual

The system software allows the switch immediately below slot
2 to have the next slot number preference. It is assigned an idle
role and given the slot number 3. The switch immediately
below slot 3 is given the slot number 4, and so on. When the
bottom of the stack is reached, the slot numbering sequence
resumes at the top of the stack, as shown. This helps ensure a
more ordered and manageable stack topology.
Manual Slot Numbering and
Management Role Assignment
Slot numbers for a stack, as well as primary and secondary
management roles, can be manually assigned.
By controlling the stack's slot numbering and management
module assignments, users can create a customized stack
topology. For example, the primary management module
(slot 1) can be assigned to the top-most switch in the stack; the
secondary management module (slot 2) can be assigned to the
switch immediately below, an so on.
Refer to "Assigning Slot Numbers for a Stack" on page 30 for
steps for manually assigning slot numbers.
