Re: 10GE access switch router

["Robert A. Hayden" <rhayden () geek net>]

What we do is to use the "priority" setting in the 3750 to determine who 
is the master.

        switch(config)#switch 1 priority 15

This will define that switch in the stack as the highest priority, then 
set your next one to 14, etc etc through the stack.  That way you will 
always have deterministic elections.

When you lose the switch, the next one will take over.
