Example 181 A commander and three switches in a stack

Suppose you want to use the Commander to remove the North Sea member from the following

stack:

Execute this command to remove the North Sea switch from the stack:

HP Switch(config)#: no stack member 3 mac-address 0030c1-7fc700

where:

• 3 is the North Sea member's switch number (SN)

• 0030c1-7fc700 is the North Sea member's MAC address

Removing a stack Member using the Member’s CLI

Syntax:

no stack join mac-addr

To use this method you need the Commander's MAC address, which is available

using the show stack command in the Member's CLI.

Example 182 Identifying the commander's MAC address from a member switch

Execute the following command in the North Sea switch's CLI to remove the switch from the

stack:

North Sea(config)#: no stack join 0030c1-7fec40

Removing a stack Member (Menu)

These rules affect removals from a stack:

• When a Candidate becomes a Member, its Auto Join parameter is automatically set to

No. This prevents the switch from automatically rejoining a stack as soon as you remove it

from the stack.

• When you use the Commander to remove a switch from a stack, the switch rejoins the

Candidate pool for your IP subnet (broadcast domain), with Auto Join set to No.

• When you remove a Member from a stack, it frees the previously assigned switch number

(SN), which then becomes available for assignment to another switch that you may subsequently
