Can someone help me understand what the heck I’m doing wrong?!?
I go to configure (2) WS-C3850-48T’s in a stack.
I want Switch_A to be “primary” so I power it up first, verify OS version and licensing after POST, initialize the switch (“switch 1 provision WS-C3850-48T”) and then rig the election so it is always primary (“switch 1 priority 15).
Next, I power up Switch_B, verify OS version and licensing after POST to make sure we match with Switch_A, initialize the switch (“switch 2 provision WS-C3850-48T”).
Next, I plug in Stackwise cable according to….
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3850/hardware/installation/guide/b_c3850_hig/b_c3850_hig_chapter_010.html
What happens after the stack synchronizes is Switch_B becomes (switch1) and Switch_A becomes (switch2).

Why is this happening?
Thx for any help.
