HP Procurve Stack Management
Configuring Stack Management
■
The Candidate’s
Auto Join
is set to
Yes
(and you do not want to enable
Auto Grab
on the Commander) or the Candidate’s
Auto Join
is set to
No
.
■
Either you know the MAC address of the Commander for the stack into
which you want to insert the Candidate, or the Candidate has a valid IP
address and is operating in your network.
Syntax:
stack join
<mac-addr>
where:
<mac-addr>
is the MAC address of the Commander in
the destination stack.
Use Telnet (if the Candidate has an IP address valid for your network) or a
direct serial port connection to access the CLI for the Candidate switch. For
example, suppose that a Candidate named “North Sea” with
Auto Join
off and
a valid IP address of 10.28.227.104 is running on a network. You could Telnet
to the Candidate, use
show stack all
to determine the Commander’s MAC
address, and then “push” the Candidate into the desired stack.
Figure 14-31. Example of “Pushing” a Candidate Into a Stack
To verify that the Candidate successfully joined the stack, execute
show stack
all
again to view the stacking status.
Using the Destination Commander CLI To “Pull” a Member from
Another Stack.
This method uses the Commander in the destination stack
to “pull” the Member from the source stack.
1. Telnet to the Candidate named “North Sea”.
2. Use
show stack all
to display the Commander’s
MAC address.
3. Set the Candidate CLI to Config mode.
4. Execute
stack join
with the
Commander’s MAC address to “push”
the Candidate into the stack.
