ProCurve Stack Management

Operation

IP Addressing and

Stack Name

Number Allowed

Per Stack

Passwords SNMP Communities

Member IP Addr: Optional.

Configuring an IP

address allows access

via Telnet or web

browser interface

without going through

the Commander switch.

This is useful, for

example, if the stack

Commander fails and

you need to convert a

Member switch to

operate as a replace-

ment Commander.

Up to 15 Members

per stack.

When the switch joins the

stack, it automatically

assumes the Commander’s

Manager and Operator pass-

words and discards any pass-

words it may have had while a

Candidate.

Note: If a Member leaves a

stack for any reason, it retains

the passwords assigned to the

stack Commander at the time

of departure from the stack.

Stack Name: N/A

Belongs to the same SNMP

communities as the

Commander (which serves

as an SNMP proxy to the

Member for communities to

which the Commander

belongs). To join other

communities that exclude

the Commander, the

Member must have its own

IP address. Loss of stack

membership means loss of

membership in any commu-

nity that is configured only

in the Commander. See

“SNMP Community Opera-

tion in a Stack” on page

8-44.

Note In the default stack configuration, the Candidate Auto Join parameter is

enabled, but the Commander Auto Grab parameter is disabled. This prevents

Candidates from automatically joining a stack prematurely or joining the

wrong stack (if more than one stack Commander is configured in a subnet or

broadcast domain). If you plan to install more than one stack in a subnet,

ProCurve recommends that you leave Auto Grab disabled on all Commander

switches and manually add Members to their stacks. Similarly, if you plan to

install a stack in a subnet (broadcast domain) where stacking-capable

switches are not intended for stack membership, you should set the Stack State

parameter (in the Stack Configuration screen) to Disabled on those particular

switches.
