Overview of Configuring and Bringing Up a Stack
This process assumes that:
■
All switches you want to include in a stack are connected to the same
subnet (broadcast domain).
■
If VLANs are enabled on the switches you want to include in the stack,
then the ports linking the stacked switches must be on the primary
VLAN in each switch (which, in the default configuration, is the
default VLAN). If the primary VLAN is tagged, then each switch in the
stack must use the same VLAN ID (VID) for the primary VLAN. (See
“Which VLAN Is Primary?” on page 14-7, and “Stacking Operation with
Multiple VLANs Configured” on page 13-46.)
■
If you are including an HP Procurve Switch 8000M, 4000M, 2424M,
2400M, or 1600M in a stack, you must first update all such devices to
software version C.08.xx or later. (You can get a copy of the software
from HP’s Procurve website and/or copy it from one switch to another.
For downloading instructions, see appendix A, "File Transfers", in the
Management and Configuration Guide
you received with these
switch models.)
Options for Configuring a Commander and Candidates.
Depending on
how Commander and Candidate switches are configured, Candidates can join
a stack either automatically or by a Commander manually adding (“pulling”)
them into the stack. In the default configuration, a Candidate joins only when
manually
pulled by a Commander. You can reconfigure a Commander to
automatically
pull in Candidates that are in the default stacking configura-
tion. You can also reconfigure a Candidate switch to either “push” itself into
a particular Commander’s stack, convert the Candidate to a Commander (for
a stack that does not already have a Commander), or to operate as a standa-
lone switch without stacking. The following table shows your control options
for adding Members to a stack.
