HP ProCurve Stack Management

Using the Commander’s Menu To Manually Add a Candidate to a

Stack. In the default configuration, you must manually add stack Members from the Candidate pool. Reasons for a switch remaining a Candidate instead of becoming a Member include any of the following:

■Auto Grab in the Commander is set to No (the default).

■Auto Join in the Candidate is set to No.

Note: When a switch leaves a stack and returns to Candidate status, its Auto Join parameter resets to No so that it will not immediately rejoin a stack from which it has just departed.

■A Manager password is set in the Candidate.

■The stack is full.

Unless the stack is already full, you can use the Stack Management screen to manually convert a Candidate to a Member. If the Candidate has a Manager password, you will need to use it to make the Candidate a Member of the stack.
