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:
Figure 13-32.  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:
HP4108(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 Switch 4108GL 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 desti-
nation 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. 
Move this switch into the “Cold Waters” stack.
