What happens when the stack master fails in an OS6 stack?

The stack becomes unmanageable until the failed unit is replaced

The stack standby assumes the role of stack master

All members reboot to re-elect a new master

The entire stack stops forwarding traffic

In Dell PowerSwitch OS6, what is the primary purpose of the stack standby unit?

To act as a backup management unit that takes over control if the stack master fails

To serve as the sole data-forwarding unit while the master handles only management tasks

To provide additional forwarding capacity by load-balancing traffic across all members

To provide a dedicated uplink to the core network for all stack members

In an OS6 stack, the master switch fails and the standby takes over. However, the new master is not forwarding traffic for some VLANs. The 'show stack' command shows all members online, and the 'show vlan' command shows the VLANs exist. What is the most likely cause?

The new master has a different MAC address, and the ARP cache on connected devices is stale.

The spanning-tree protocol (STP) is recalculating and some ports are in a blocking state.

The VLANs are not configured on the new master's startup configuration.

The stack priority of the new master is too low.

Before forming a stack with Dell PowerSwitch OS6 switches, what must be verified to ensure compatibility?

All switches must run the same firmware version and use supported stacking hardware

All switches must be configured with the same hostname

All switches must have the same number of ports

All switches must be connected to the same power source
