Configuring the Switch Role
The switch role (either master or local) is generally set at the time
of initial configuration through the setup dialog. Should the need
arise to change the switch role, it may be done through the GUI
by navigating to
Configuration > Switch > General as shown in the
figure below.

the master switch.
