General Switch ID Assignment Rules
When assigning Switch IDs to the devices in the stack, you must note the
following:
1. Switches with assigned IDs can be changed to use any other switch ID
(possibly by swapping Switch ID with another active switch).
2. When swapping two Switch IDs, the devices will retain their (own)
configuration, except for the Switch ID.
3. Switches without an assigned Switch ID can only be assigned to any
unused ID.
4. When assigning a Switch ID of an inactive switch to a new switch, the
new switch will inherit the former's configuration (see "Replacing a
Switch" above).
5. Deleting a switch will remove any configuration pertaining to it.
6. Deleting an active switch will leave it with an unassigned Switch ID until
rebooted or manually assigning a Switch ID.

example, will not be Master Capable.

default stacked port mapping.
