ProCurve Stack Management

Configuring Stack Management

Syntax: no stack name < stack name> stack join < mac-address >

If you don’t know the MAC address of the destination Commander, you can use show stack all to identify it.

For example, suppose you have a switch operating as the Commander for a temporary stack named “Test”. When it is time to eliminate the temporary “Test” stack and convert the switch into a member of an existing stack named “Big_Waters”, you would execute the following commands in the switch’s CLI:

Eliminates the “Test” stack and converts the Commander to a Candidate.

Helps you to identify the MAC address of the

Commander for the “Big_Waters” stack.

Adds the former “Test” Commander to the “Big_Waters” stack.

Using the CLI To Remove a Member from a Stack

 

You can remove a Member from a stack using the CLI of either the Commander

 

or the Member.

 

 

N o t e

When you remove a Member from a stack, the Member’s Auto Join parameter

 

is set to No.

 

Using the Commander CLI To Remove a Stack Member. This option

 

 

requires the switch number (SN) and the MAC address of the switch to

 

remove. (Because the Commander propagates its Manager password to all

 

stack members, knowing the Manager password is necessary only for gaining

 

access to the Commander.)

 

Syntax: [no] stack member <switch-num> mac-address <mac-addr>
