I'm used to single switch "stacks" when I deploy. That is not what is currently happening.
We're putting out 2-5 switch stacks, and one thing is seriously bothering me. I come from the cable world where something in "standby" means its literally "off" but its hot and ready to go at a moment's notice.
Im looking at show switch detail for a 3650 stack.
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
------------------------------------------------------------
*1 Active 1234.5678.9101 1 V02 Ready
2 Standby 2345.6789.1011 1 V02 Ready
Stack Port Status Neighbors
Switch# Port 1 Port 2 Port 1 Port 2
--------------------------------------------------------
1 OK OK 2 2
To me this says that switch 2 is not going to be able to be active in tandem with switch 1. This is being built as a non-redundant system. (but with redundant links).
Am I overthinking this? Cisco documentation is shit.
