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.
