Using the Commander To Manage The Stack

The Commander normally operates as your stack manager and point of entry
into other switches in the stack. This typically includes:

Adding new stack members

Moving members between stacks

Removing members from a stack

Accessing stack members for individual configuration changes and traffic
monitoring

The Commander also imposes its passwords on all stack members and pro-
vides SNMP community membership to the stack. (See “SNMP Community
Operation in a Stack” on page 13-45.)
