Using the Commander To Manage The Stack

The Commander normally operates as your stack manager and point of entry into other switches in the stack. This typically includes:

■Adding new stack members

■Moving members between stacks

■Removing members from a stack

■Accessing stack members for individual configuration changes and traffic monitoring

The Commander also imposes its passwords on all stack members and provides SNMP community membership to the stack. (See “SNMP Community Operation in a Stack” on page 9-46.)
