Stack Management

For example, if the switch named “DEFAULT_CONFIG” in the above listing did not have a Manager password and you wanted to make it a stack Member with an SN of 2, you would execute the following command:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# stack member 2 mac- address 0060b0-dfla00

The show stack view command then lists the Member added by the above command:

SN (Switch Number) 2 is the

Using Auto Join on a Candidate. In the default configuration, a Candi- date’s Auto Join parameter is set to “Yes”, meaning that it will automatically join a stack if the stack’s Commander detects the Candidate and the Com- mander’s Auto Grab parameter is set to “Yes”. You can disable Auto Join on a Candidate if you want to prevent automatic joining in this case. There is also the instance where a Candidate’s Auto Join is disabled, for example, when a Commander leaves a stack and its members automatically return to Candidate status, or if you manually remove a Member from a stack. In this case, you may want to reset Auto Join to “Yes”.

Status: [no] stack auto-join

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# no stack auto-join

Disables Auto Join on a Candidate.

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# stack auto-join

Enables Auto Join on a Candidate.
