Stack Management for the 3500, 3500yl, 6200yl and 6600 Switches
Configuring Stack Management
8. Do one of the following:
• If the stack containing the Member you are moving has a Manager
password, press the downarrow key to select the Candidate
Password field, then type the password.
• If the stack containing the Member you want to move does not
have a password, go to step 9.
9. Press
[Enter] to return to the Actions line, then press [S] (for Save) to
complete the Add process for the selected Member. You will then see a
screen similar to the one in figure 6-9 on page 6-16, with the newly added
Member listed.
Note If the message Unable to add stack member: Invalid Password appears in the
console menu’s Help line, then you either omitted the Manager password for
the stack containing the Member or incorrectly entered the Manager pass-
word.
You can “push” a Member from one stack to another by going to the Member’s
interface and entering the MAC address of the destination stack Commander
in the Member’s Commander MAC Addres
s field. Using this method moves the
Member to another stack without a need for knowing the Manager password
in that stack, but also blocks access to the Member from the original
Commander.
Using the Commander’s Menu To Remove a Stack Member. These
rules affect removals from a stack:
■ When a Candidate becomes a Member, its Auto Join parameter is
automatically set to No. This prevents the switch from automatically
rejoining a stack as soon as you remove it from the stack.
■ When you use the Commander to remove a switch from a stack, the
switch rejoins the Candidate pool for your IP subnet (broadcast
domain), with Auto Join set to No.
■ When you remove a Member from a stack, it frees the previously
assigned switch number (SN), which then becomes available for
assignment to another switch that you may subsequently add to the
stack. The default switch number used for an add is the lowest
unassigned number in the Member range (1 - 15; 0 is reserved for the
Commander).
