HP Procurve Stack Management

Configuring Stack Management

Using the Menu To Manage a Candidate Switch

Using the menu interface, you can perform these actions on a Candidate

switch:

■ Add (“push”) the Candidate into an existing stack

■ Modify the Candidate’s stacking configuration (Auto Join and Transmission

Interval

)

■ Convert the Candidate to a Commander

■ Disable stacking on the Candidate so that it operates as a standalone

switch

In its default stacking configuration, a Candidate switch can either automati-

cally join a stack or be manually added (“pulled”) into a stack by a Commander,

depending on the Commander’s

Auto Grab setting. The following table lists the

Candidate’s configuration options:

Table 14-4.Candidate Configuration Options in the Menu Interface

Using the Menu To “Push” a Switch Into a Stack, Modify the Switch’s

Configuration, or Disable Stacking on the Switch. Use Telnet or the

web browser interface to access the Candidate if it has an IP address. Other-

wise, use a direct connection from a terminal device to the switch’s console

port. (For information on how to use the web browser interface, see the online

Help provided for the browser.)
