9. Press Enter to return to the Actions line, then press S (for Save) to complete the Add process

for the selected Member. You will then see a screen similar to the one in Example 175

(page 270) and Example 178 (page 275), with the newly added Member listed.

NOTE: If the message Unable to add stack member: Invalid Password appears

in the console menu's Help line, then you either omitted the Manager password for the stack

containing the Member or incorrectly entered the Manager password.

You can "push" a Member from one stack to another by going to the Member's interface and

entering the MAC address of the destination stack Commander in the Member's Commander

MAC Address field. Using this method moves the Member to another stack without a need

for knowing the Manager password in that stack, but also blocks access to the Member from

the original Commander.

Using auto join on a Candidate

In the default configuration, a Candidate's Auto Join parameter is set to Yes, meaning that it will

automatically join a stack if the stack's Commander detects the Candidate and the Commander's

Auto Grab parameter is set to Yes. You can disable Auto Join on a Candidate if you want to

prevent automatic joining in this case. There is also the instance where a Candidate's Auto Join

is disabled, for example, when a Commander leaves a stack and its members automatically return

to Candidate status, or if you manually remove a Member from a stack. In this case, you may want

to reset Auto Join to Yes.

Syntax:

[no] stack auto-join

Enables Auto Join on a Candidate.

The no version disables Auto Join on a Candidate.

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.
