Stack Management for the 3500, 3500yl, 6200yl and 6600 Switches
Configuring Stack Management
For example, if the switch in the above listing did not have a Manager
password and you wanted to make it a stack Member with an
SN of 2, you
would execute the following command:
HP Switch(config)# stack member 2 mac-address 000883-
08f234
The show stack view command then lists the Member added by the above
command:

Using Auto Join on a Candidate. In the default configuration, a Candi-
date’s Auto Join parameter is set to “Yes”, meaning that it will automatically
join a stack if the stack’s Commander detects the Candidate and the Com-
mander’s Auto Grab parameter is set to “Yes”. You can disable Auto Join on a
Candidate if you want to prevent automatic joining in this case. There is also
the instance where a Candidate’s Auto Join is disabled, for example, when a
Commander leaves a stack and its members automatically return to Candidate
status, or if you manually remove a Member from a stack. In this case, you
may want to reset Auto Join to “Yes”.
Status: [no] stack auto-join
HP Switch(config)# no stack auto-join
Disables Auto Join on a Candidate.
HP Switch(config)# stack auto-join
Enables Auto Join on a Candidate.
SN (Switch Number) 2 is the
new Member added by the
stack member
command.
The new member did not have a System Name
configured prior to joining the stack, and so
receives a System Name composed of the stack
name (assigned in the Commander) with its SN
number as a suffix.
