Using The Cli To Disable Or Re-Enable Stacking; Transmission Interval; Stacking Operation With Multiple Vlans Configured - HP ProCurve series 2500 Management And Configuration Manual

Note that in the above example (figure 9-37) you cannot use the public
community through the Commander to access any of the Member switches.
For example, you can use the public community to access the MIB in switches
1 and 3 by using their unique IP addresses. However, you must use the red or
blue community to access the MIB for switch 2.

Using the CLI To Disable or Re-Enable Stacking

In the default configuration, stacking is enabled on the ProCurve Switch 2512
and 2524. You can use the CLI to disable stacking on these switches at any
time. Disabling stacking has the following effects:
Disabling a Commander: Eliminates the stack, returns the stack Mem-
I
bers to Candidates with Auto Join disabled, and changes the Commander
to a stand-alone (nonstacking) switch. You must re-enable stacking on the
switch before it can become a Candidate, Member, or Commander.
Disabling a Member: Removes the Member from the stack and changes
I
it to a stand-alone (nonstacking) switch. You must re-enable stacking on
the switch before it can become a Candidate, Member, or Commander.
I Disabling a Candidate: Changes the Candidate to a stand-alone (non-
stacking) switch.
no stack
Syntax:

Transmission Interval

All switches in the stack must be set to the same transmission interval to help
ensure proper stacking operation. HP recommends that you leave this param-
eter set to the default 60 seconds.

Stacking Operation with Multiple VLANs Configured

Stacking uses the primary VLAN in a switch. In the factory-default configura-
tion, the DEFAULT_VLAN is the primary VLAN. However, you can designate
any VLAN configured in the switch as the primary VLAN. (See "Which VLAN
Is Primary?" on page 9-53.)
When using stacking in a multiple-VLAN environment, the following criteria
applies:
(Disables stacking on the switch.)
(Enables stacking on the switch.)
