    MAC address, the higher the priority. A switch can have only one priority number. Allied Telesis recommends changing a switch’s priority number to match its ID number. For example, the switch with ID 1 should be assigned priority 1, switch with ID 2 should be assigned priority 2, and so on. This is not required, but it can make managing and troubleshooting the stack easier.

    Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking This example assigns the priority 1 to the switch with ID 1: awplus(config)# stack 1 priority 1 STACK Every switch in a stack must have a unique ID number. The range is 1 RENUMBER to 8.
