Stack Management

8. Do one of the following:

	• If the stack containing the Member you are moving has a Manager
	password, press the downarrow key to select the Candidate
	Password field, then type the password.
	• If the stack containing the Member you want to move does not
	have a password, go to step 9.
	9. Press [Enter] to return to the Actions line, then press [S] (for Save) to
	complete the Add process for the selected Member. You will then see a
	screen similar to the one in figure 9-9on page 9-17,with the newly added
	Member listed.

N o t e :	If the message Unable to add stack member: Invalid Password appears in the console
	menu’s Help line, then you either omitted the Manager password for the stack
	containing the Member or incorrectly entered the Manager password.
	You can “push” a Member from one stack to another by going to the Member’s
	interface and entering the MAC address of the destination stack Commander
	in the Member’s Commander MAC Address field. Using this method moves the
	Member to another stack without a need for knowing the Manager password
	in that stack, but also blocks access to the Member from the original
	Commander.

Using the Commander’s Menu To Remove a Stack Member. These rules affect removals from a stack:

■When a Candidate becomes a Member, its Auto Join parameter is automatically set to No. This prevents the switch from automatically rejoining a stack as soon as you remove it from the stack.

■When you use the Commander to remove a switch from a stack, the switch rejoins the Candidate pool for your IP subnet (broadcast domain), with Auto Join set to No.

■When you remove a Member from a stack, it frees the previously assigned switch number (SN), which then becomes available for assignment to another switch that you may subsequently add to the stack. The default switch number used for an add is the lowest unassigned number in the Member range (1 - 15; 0 is reserved for the Commander).

To remove a Member from a stack, use the Stack Management screen.
