Figure 13-27. Example of Using a Member’s CLI To Convert the Member to the Commander of a New Stack

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.)

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.
