switch priority
This command configures the ability of a switch to become the management unit in a stack.
Syntax
switch unit priority value
The unit is the switch identifier.
The value is the preference parameter that allows the user to specify the priority of one backup switch
over another. The priority range is 0 to 15. The switch with the highest priority value will be chosen to
become the management unit if the active management unit fails. The switch priority defaults to the
hardware management preference value 1. Switches that do not have the hardware capability to
become the management unit are not eligible for management. If priority is 0, then the unit is not
considered as a potential candidate to become the management unit when the current management unit
fails.
