ProCurve Stack Management

Configuring Stack Management

Syntax: stack member < switch-number> mac-address < mac-addr>

[ password < password-str>]

In the destination Commander, use show stack all to find the MAC address of the Member you want to pull into the destination stack. For example, suppose you created a new Commander with a stack name of “Cold_Waters” and you wanted to move a switch named “Bering Sea” into the new stack:

Move this switch into the “Cold Waters” stack.

Figure 8-32. Example of Stack Listing with Two Stacks in the Subnet

You would then execute the following command to pull the desired switch into the new stack:

ProCurve(config)# stack member 1 mac-address 0060b0­ df1a00

Where 1 is an unused switch number (SN).

Since a password is not set on the Candidate, a password is not needed in this example.

You could then use show stack all again to verify that the move took place.

Using a Member CLI To “Push” the Member into Another Stack. You can use the Member’s CLI to “push” a stack Member into a destination stack if you know the MAC address of the destination Commander.

Syntax: stack join <mac-addr>

where: < mac-addr > is the MAC address of the Commander for the destination stack.

Converting a Commander to a Member of Another Stack. Removing the Commander from a stack eliminates the stack and returns its Members to the Candidate pool with Auto Join disabled.
