Stack Management for the 3500, 3500yl, 6200yl and 6600 Switches
Configuring Stack Management
Using the Destination Commander CLI To “Pull” a Member from
Another Stack. This method uses the Commander in the destination stack
to “pull” the Member from the source stack.
Syntax:
stack member < switch-number >
mac-address < mac-addr >
[ password < password-str >]
In the destination Commander, use show stack all to find the MAC address of
the Member you want to pull into the destination stack. For example, suppose
you created a new Commander with a stack name of “Cold_Waters” and you
wanted to move a switch named “Bering Sea” into the new stack:
Figure 6-32. Example of Stack Listing with Two Stacks in the Subnet
You would then execute the following command to pull the desired switch
into the new stack:
HP Switch(config)# stack member 1 mac-address 000883-
e9cfc0
Where
1 is an unused switch number (SN).
Since a password is not set on the Candidate, a password is not needed in this
example.
You could then use
show stack all again to verify that the move took place.
Using a Member CLI To “Push” the Member into Another Stack. You
can use the Member’s CLI to “push” a stack Member into a destination stack
if you know the MAC address of the destination Commander.
Syntax: stack join <mac-addr>
where: < mac-addr > is the MAC address of the Commander for the
destination stack.
Move this switch into the “Cold Waters” stack.
