Stack Management for the Series 3400cl and 6400cl Switches 
Configuring Stack Management 
For example, if the 3400cl-48 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: 
HPswitch(config)# stack member 2 mac-address 0060b0- 
dfla00 
The show stack view command then lists the Member added by the above 
command: 
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.

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 
HPswitch(config)# no stack auto-join 
Disables Auto Join on a Candidate. 
HPswitch(config)# stack auto-join 
Enables Auto Join on a Candidate.
