We are running through some test scenarios before deploying a 3750 stack into production.

The only issue we have really run into is when we physically lose the stack master, i.e. pulling the plug. Our default gateway is on a core switch. When we unplug the stackmaster, all local layer 2 traffic on the stack comes right back up.

But we cannot get to the default gateway for 45 seconds. Basically I guess the re-election is happening in the background...or I could be wrong.

Anyway, am I looking at the right thing or should I be looking somewhere else, or is that just how it is.

I say 45 seconds because we can replicate the situation on demand and the results are the same everytime.

Thanks in advance
