If the master is removed from the stack, another member will be elected master, and will then run

from that saved configuration.
The Stack Master Switch performs a consistency check to ensure that all units in the stack are
running the same version of agent. Using the information gathered during Topology Discovery,
the Master Switch can determine whether all units are running the same version of agent. If the
versions do not match, then the ports on the Subordinate Switch will not become valid for
operation. This condition is known as the Special Stacking Mode. The administrator will have the
ability to synchronize the software on the stack unit with the software that is running on the
Master Switch. Normally, the software is automatically distributed to all units in the stack after
downloading new code. But there can be instances where a unit with older code is plugged in to
the stack. In this scenario, the user needs to enable the ‘Stack Firmware synchronization’
command to push the code from the Master Switch to the Subordinate switch. This ensures that
the Stack switches are in Sync with the rest of the participating switches in the Stack.

Automatic detection of new members, with synchronization of firmware (upgrade or
downgrade as needed).
•
Configuration updates download is supported across the stack through single operation.
•
Support automatic master fail-over. Fully resilient stack with chain and ring topology.

Hot swappable (insertion and removal) is supported.
•
You are be provided with stack number information and automatic stacking set-up option.
Factory Defaults Reset Behavior
The configurations applied on GS752TXS would be automatically saved to the flash. The
Master Switch will automatically distribute the configuration to the Subordinate Switches. This
will allow for the scenario where the Master Switch may become unavailable, and a
Subordinate Switch can become the new Master Switch, and apply the configuration that was
saved on the original Master Switch.
