Adding to a Stack or Moving Switches Between Stacks

You can add switches to a stack by adding discovered Candidates or by moving switches from other stacks that may exist in the same subnet. (You cannot add a Candidate that the Commander has not discovered.)

In its default configuration, the Commander’s Auto-Grabparameter is set to No to give you manual control over which switches join the stack and when they join. This prevents the Commander from automatically trying to add every Candidate it finds that has Auto Join set to Yes (the default for the Candidate).

(If you want any eligible Candidate to automatically join the stack when the Commander discovers it, configure Auto Grab in the Commander to Yes. When you do so, any Candidate discovered with Auto Join set to Yes (the default) and no Manager password will join the stack, up to the limit of 15 Members.)
