Using a Candidate CLI to push the Candidate into a stack

Use this method if any of the following apply:

  • 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>

​
​
​

​<mac-addr>

Specifies the MAC address of the Commander in the destination stack.

If the Candidate has an IP address valid for your network use Telnet or a direct serial port connection to access the CLI for the Candidate switch.

​

Pushing a candidate into a stack

Suppose 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.

​

To verify that the Candidate successfully joined the stack, execute show stack all again to view the stacking status.
