Removing a stack Member (Menu)

These rules affect removals from a stack:

  • When a Candidate becomes a Member, its Auto Join parameter is automatically set to No. This prevents the switch from automatically rejoining a stack as soon as you remove it from the stack.

  • When you use the Commander to remove a switch from a stack, the switch rejoins the Candidate pool for your IP subnet (broadcast domain), with Auto Join set to No.

  • When you remove a Member from a stack, it frees the previously assigned switch number (SN), which then becomes available for assignment to another switch that you may subsequently add to the stack. The default switch number used for an add is the lowest unassigned number in the Member range (1 - 15; 0 is reserved for the Commander).

To remove a Member from a stack, use the Stack Management screen.

  1. From the Main Menu, select 9. Stacking... —> 4. Stack Management

    You will then see the Stack Management screen.
