Strange stack problem

[sakiv]

Having strange probelm XSM4342S I have two switches port 24 on both switches are stack.

Switch A is mater and B is slave.  I switched off Switch A, B become master and file trasfer is not interrupted. 

I switched on switch A then it becomes a stack member.  After 10 min Switch B is off , Switch A become master but file transfer on network get interrupted.

Tried with Switch B also to switch off first same thing.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Hi sakiv,

Welcome to our community! 🙂

It is normal behavior for stacking to make the other switch as the Master once it turns off. May I know which switch using for file transfer?

Sorry you mis understood. I know that’s the basic it should become master. My point is when I switch off switch b, why the file transfer then stopped why switch A not getting responsibility even it become master.

@sakiv,

Thanks for the attached file. Stacking will only make the 2 switches logically as one. It could be better if you will just stack all of the switches in your network so that it will be a ring network.
