switch:

■ Modify the Candidate's stacking configuration (
Interval )
Convert the Candidate to a Commander
■
■ Disable stacking on the Candidate so that it operates as a standalone
switch
In its default stacking configuration, a Candidate switch can either automati-
cally join a stack or be manually added ("pulled") into a stack by a Commander,
depending on the Commander's Auto Grab setting. The following table lists the
Candidate's configuration options:
Using the Menu To "Push" a Switch Into a Stack, Modify the Switch's
Configuration, or Disable Stacking on the Switch. Use Telnet or the
WebAgent to access the Candidate if it has an IP address. Otherwise, use a
direct connection from a terminal device to the switch's console port. (For
information on how to use the WebAgent, see the online Help by clicking on
the "?" in the WebAgent screen.)
