Belongs to the same SNMP communities as the Commander (which serves as an SNMP proxy to the Member for communities to which the Commander belongs). To join other communities that exclude the Commander, the Member must have its own IP address. Loss of stack membership means loss of membership in any commu nity that is configured only in the Commander. See “SNMP Community Opera tion in a Stack” on page
N o t e | In the default stack configuration, the Candidate Auto Join parameter is |
| enabled, but the Commander Auto Grab parameter is disabled. This prevents |
| Candidates from automatically joining a stack prematurely or joining the |
| wrong stack (if more than one stack Commander is configured in a subnet or |
| broadcast domain). If you plan to install more than one stack in a subnet, |
| ProCurve recommends that you leave Auto Grab disabled on all Commander |
| switches and manually add Members to their stacks. Similarly, if you plan to |
| install a stack in a subnet (broadcast domain) where |
| switches are not intended for stack membership, you should set the Stack State |
| parameter (in the Stack Configuration screen) to Disabled on those particular |
| switches. |
