Configuring Stack Management
Figure 6-26.  Example of the Commander’s Show Stack Screen with Only the Commander 
Discovered
Using a Member’s CLI to Convert the Member to the Commander of a 
New Stack.  This procedure requires that you first remove the Member from 
its current stack, then create the new stack. If you do not know the MAC 
address for the Commander of the current stack, use show stack to list it.
Syntax:  no stack
   stack commander < stack name >
Suppose, for example, that an HP switch named “Bering Sea” is a Member of 
a stack named “Big_Waters”. To use the switch’s CLI to convert it from a stack 
Member to the Commander of a new stack named “Lakes”, you would use the 
following commands:
Big_Waters-0(config)# show stack
 Stacking - Stacking Status (This Switch)
  Stack State           : Commander
  Transmission Interval : 60
  Stack Name            : Big_Waters     Number of members         : 14
  Auto Grab             : No             Members unreachable       : 0
  SN MAC Address   System Name   Device Type          Status
  -- ------------- ------------- -------------------- -----------------
  0  1cc1de-cfbc80 Big_Waters-0  HP Switch            Commander Up
The stack commander command 
configures the Commander and names 
the stack.
The Commander appears in the stack as Switch 
Number (SN) 0.
