HP ProCurve Stack Management
Configuring Stack Management
Using the Menu To Manage a Candidate Switch
Using the menu interface, you can perform these actions on a Candidate
switch:
■ Add (“push”) the Candidate into an existing stack
■
Modify the Candidate’s stacking configuration (
Auto Join
and
Transmission
Interval )
■
Convert the Candidate to a Commander
■ Disable stacking on the Candidate so that it operates as a standalone
switch
In its default stacking configuration, a Candidate switch can either automati­
cally join a stack or be manually added ("pulled") into a stack by a Commander,
depending on the Commander’s
Auto Grab setting. The following table lists the
Candidate’s configuration options:
Table 15-4. Candidate Configuration Options in the Menu Interface
Parameter Default Setting Other Settings

Auto Join Yes No
Transmission 60 Seconds Range: 1 to 300 seconds
Interval
Using the Menu To “Push” a Switch Into a Stack, Modify the Switch’s
Configuration, or Disable Stacking on the Switch.
Use Telnet or the
web browser interface to access the Candidate if it has an IP address. Other-
wise, use a direct connection from a terminal device to the switch’s console
port. (For information on how to use the web browser interface, see the online
Help provided for the browser.)
