Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 893

When does a Cisco StackWise primary switch lose its role?

Answer options

• A. when a switch with a higher priority is added to the stack
• B. when a stack member fails
• C. when the priority value of a stack member is changed to a higher value
• D. when the stack primary is reset

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The primary switch in a Cisco StackWise configuration loses its role when it is reset, as this action forces a reevaluation of the primary switch based on the current stack configuration. Options A and C refer to scenarios that could affect switch priority but do not directly cause a loss of primary status. Option B involves a failure, which does not directly relate to the primary switch's role being lost.
