Converting a Commander to a Member of another stack (CLI)

Syntax:


no stack name <stack name>

stack join <mac-address>

Removes the Commander from a stack, eliminates the stack, and returns its Members to the Candidate pool with Auto Join disabled.

On using the no stack command on a commander, all members will continue to show the commander entry for 125 seconds. After the countdown timer expires on each member for the commander, the members will no longer show the commander entry.

To identify the MAC address of the destination Commander, use the show stack all command.
