Stack Management for the 3500, 3500yl, 6200yl and 6600 Switches
Configuring Stack Management
Using a Candidate CLI To Manually “Push” the Candidate Into a
Stack . Use this method if any of the following apply:
■ The Candidate’s Auto Join is set to Yes (and you do not want to enable
Auto Grab on the Commander) or the Candidate’s Auto Join is set to No.
■ Either you know the MAC address of the Commander for the stack into
which you want to insert the Candidate, or the Candidate has a valid IP
address and is operating in your network.
Syntax: stack join < mac-addr >
where: < mac-addr > is the MAC address of the Commander in
the destination stack.
Use Telnet (if the Candidate has an IP address valid for your network) or a
direct serial port connection to access the CLI for the Candidate switch. For
example, suppose that a Candidate named “North Sea” with Auto Join off and
a valid IP address of 10.28.227.104 is running on a network. You could Telnet
to the Candidate, use show stack all to determine the Commander’s MAC
address, and then “push” the Candidate into the desired stack.
Figure 6-31. Example of “Pushing” a Candidate Into a Stack
To verify that the Candidate successfully joined the stack, execute
show stack
all
again to view the stacking status.
