Step 2
switch stack-member-number priority
new-priority-number
Specify the stack member number and the new priority for the stack
member. The stack member number range is 1 to 9. The priority value
range is 1 to 15.
You can display the current priority value by using the show switch user

member is elected as the new stack master when the current stack master
or switch stack resets.
