Options for Configuring a Commander and Candidates.
Depending on
how Commander and Candidate switches are configured, Candidates can join
a stack either automatically or by a Commander manually adding (“pulling”)
them into the stack. In the default configuration, a Candidate joins only when
manually
pulled by a Commander. You can reconfigure a Commander to
automatically
pull in Candidates that are in the default stacking configura-
tion. You can also reconfigure a Candidate switch to either “push” itself into
a particular Commander’s stack, convert the Candidate to a Commander (for
a stack that does not already have a Commander), or to operate as a standa-
lone switch without stacking. The following table shows your control options
for adding Members to a stack.
