Stack Management for the 3500, 3500yl, 6200yl and 6600 Switches     
Configuring Stack Management
Converting a Commander to a Member of Another Stack.  Removing 
the Commander from a stack eliminates the stack and returns its Members to 
the Candidate pool with 
Auto Join disabled. 
Syntax:  no stack name < stack name>
   stack join < mac-address >
If you don’t know the MAC address of the destination Commander, you can 
use 
show stack all to identify it. 
For example, suppose you have a switch operating as the Commander for a 
temporary stack named “Test”. When it is time to eliminate the temporary 
“Test” stack and convert the switch into a member of an existing stack named 
“Big_Waters”,  you would execute the following commands in the switch’s CLI:
Figure 6-33.  Example of Command Sequence for Converting a Commander to a Member
Using the CLI To Remove a Member from a Stack
You can remove a Member from a stack using the CLI of either the Commander 
or the Member. 
Note When you remove a Member from a stack, the Member’s Auto Join parameter 
is set to 
No.
