Using Auto Join on a Candidate.

In the default configuration, a Candi-

date’s Auto Join parameter is set to “Yes”, meaning that it will automatically
join a stack if the stack’s Commander detects the Candidate and the Com-
mander’s Auto Grab parameter is set to “Yes”. You can disable Auto Join on a
Candidate if you want to prevent automatic joining in this case. There is also
the instance where a Candidate’s Auto Join is disabled, for example, when a
Commander leaves a stack and its members automatically return to Candidate
status, or if you manually remove a Member from a stack. In this case, you
may want to reset Auto Join to “Yes”.

Status:

[no] stack auto-join

HP4108(config)# no stack auto-join

Disables Auto Join on a
Candidate.

HP4108(config)# stack auto-join

Enables Auto Join on a
Candidate.

Stack .

Use this method if any of the following apply:

SN (Switch Number) 2 is the
new Member added by the
stack member

command.

The new member did not have a System Name
configured prior to joining the stack, and so receives a
System Name composed of the stack name (assigned in
the Commander) with its SN number as a suffix.
