Figure 5-60. Changing Switch Unit Priority
In the example in Figure 5-60, the switch 4 priority 2 command changes the management
preference value of Unit #4 to priority 2. The higher the number, the more likely it is that the switch will be
selected as the next management unit by the management selection algorithm. The default is 1, so unless
other units have been set with a higher priority, Unit #4 will be selected to be the management unit when
the current management unit goes down or is removed from the stack.
To move the management function from one unit to another within a stack, use the
movemanagement
command:
Force10 (Config)#switch 4 priority 2
Force10 (Config)#exit
Force10 #show switch
