For example, if the switch named “DEFAULT_CONFIG” in the above listing
did not have a Manager password and you wanted to make it a stack Member
with an

SN

of

2

, you would execute the following command:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# stack member 2 mac-

address 0060b0-dfla00

The

show stack view command then lists the Member added by the above

command:

Figure 9-30. Example Showing the Stack After Adding a New Member

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

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# no stack auto-join

Disables Auto Join on a Candidate.

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# stack auto-join

Enables Auto Join on a Candidate.

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.
