Syntax:
no stack name
<stack name>
stack join
<mac-address>
If you don’t know the MAC address of the destination Commander, you can
use
show stack all
to identify it.
For example, suppose you have a switch operating as the Commander for a
temporary stack named “Test”. When it is time to eliminate the temporary
“Test” stack and convert the switch into a member of an existing stack named
“Big_Waters”, you would execute the following commands in the CLI of the
switch:

Member

Using the Commander CLI To Remove a Stack Member.
This option
requires the switch number (SN) and the MAC address of the switch to
remove. (Because the Commander propagates its Manager password to all
stack members, knowing the Manager password is necessary only for gaining
access to the Commander.)
