Stack Management for the Series 3400cl and 6400cl Switches
Configuring Stack Management
Removes the Member
from the “Big_Waters”
stack.
Converts the former
Member to the Com­
mander of the new
“Lakes” stack.
The output from this command tells you the
MAC address of the current stack Commander.

Adding to a Stack or Moving Switches Between Stacks
You can add switches to a stack by adding discovered Candidates or by moving
switches from other stacks that may exist in the same subnet. (You cannot
add a Candidate that the Commander has not discovered.)
In its default configuration, the Commander’s
Auto-Grab
parameter is set to
No
to give you manual control over which switches join the stack and when
they join. This prevents the Commander from automatically trying to add
every Candidate it finds that has
Auto Join
set to
Yes
(the default for the
Candidate).
(If you want any eligible Candidate to automatically join the stack when the
Commander discovers it, configure
Auto Grab in the Commander to
Yes
. When
you do so, any Candidate discovered with
Auto Join
set to
Yes
(the default) and
no Manager password will join the stack, up to the limit of 15 Members.)
