Using the Commander To Manage The Stack

The Commander normally operates as your stack manager and point of entry

into other switches in the stack. This typically includes:

■Adding new stack members

■Moving members between stacks

■Removing members from a stack

■Accessing stack members for individual configuration changes and traffic

monitoring

The Commander also imposes its passwords on all stack members and pro-

vides SNMP community membership to the stack. (See “SNMP Community

Operation in a Stack” on page 13-45.)
