When the switch stack initializes, the MAC address of the stack master determines the bridge ID and router MAC address. The stack master is elected or re-elected based on one of these factors and in the order listed: 1. The switch that is currently the stack master. 2. The switch with the highest stack member priority value. You can display the stack member number by using the: show switch The switch stack is managed through a single IP address. The IP address is a system-level setting and is not specific to the stack master or to any other stack member. You can still manage the stack through the same IP address even if you remove the stack master or any other stack member from the stack, provided there is IP connectivity. STACK NUMBERS The stack member number (1 to 9) identifies each member in the switch stack. You can display the stack member number by using the show switch command. you manually change the stack member number by using the switch current-stack-member-number renumber new-stack-member-number (goes into effect after that stack member resets or after you use the reload slot stack-member-number) As described in the hardware installation guide, you can use the switch port LEDs in Stack mode to visually determine the stack member number of each stack member.
