1.

The fallback action on a slave is first to run the fallback config script. Where there is no fallback
script, the switch will disable all its switch ports.

2.

The stack member assumes the role of stack master. In specific situations, this condition could
result in a stack containing two masters. This would present problems with network management
and the control of links that were previously aggregated.

3. The following situation will apply to a switch that has been removed from the stack by the using the

NO STACK ENABLE command:
— The switch will be unaware of further faults within the stack it of which it was previously a mem-
ber.
— If this switch is powered cycled, all links previously shutdown will remain down as a result of
running the NO STACK ENABLE command”.

4. If the slave’s ports are still up, this may cause downstream switches with trunked ports to operate incorrectly.
