    remosito,

     

    I got a feedback from the higher tier of NETGEAR Support that the word "reset" in the logs you have posted means reboot. From the logs, it means that it is a reboot of the stack member which is unit 2. 

     

     

    Regards,

We would really appreciate a clarification as our stack has been acting up with reboots of switches.

 

If my logs say 

 

Keller-2 UNITMGR[unitMgrTask]: unitmgr.c(6588) 699 %% Reset initiated on unit 2, reason: Stack manager conflict resolution
Keller-2 UNITMGR[unitMgrTask]: unitmgr.c(5347) 698 %% Management unit conflict was detected and this unit has lost the manager election. All the units in this stack will reset and join the winner stack manager 8:bd:43:6e:75:d0.

Is a reset an actual reboot of the whole switch? Or just a reset of the stack that is done without a reboot?
