Stack Management
Using a Candidate CLI To Manually "Push" the Candidate Into a
Stack . Use this method if any of the following apply:
I
I
Syntax:
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 10.2.13.104 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.

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.
stack join <mac-addr>
where: <mac-addr> is the MAC address of the Commander in
the destination stack.
