ProCurve Stack Management

Configuring Stack Management

Using the CLI To Configure a Commander Switch

You can configure any stacking-enabled switch to be a Commander as long as

the intended stack name does not already exist on the broadcast domain.

(When you configure a Commander, you automatically create a corresponding

stack.)

Before you begin configuring stacking parameters:

1. Configure IP addressing on the switch intended for stack commander and,

if not already configured, on the primary VLAN. (For more on configuring

IP addressing, see the chapter on IP addressing in the Management and

Configuration Guide.)

Note The primary VLAN must have an IP address in order for stacking to operate

properly. For more on the primary VLAN, see “The Primary VLAN” on page 2-7.

2. Configure a Manager password on the switch intended for commander.

(The Commander’s Manager password controls access to stack Mem-

bers.) For more on passwords, see the local manager and operator pass-

word information in the Access Security Guide for your switch.

Configure the Stack Commander. Assigning a stack name to a switch

makes it a Commander and automatically creates a stack.

Syntax: stack commander < name-str >

This example creates a Commander switch with a stack name of

Big_Waters.

(Note that if stacking was previously disabled on the switch, this command

also enables stacking.)

ProCurve(config)# stack commander Big_Waters

As the following

show stack display shows, the Commander switch is now ready

to add members to the stack.
