This wizard lets you designate a member switch or candidate switch as the new command switch. It automatically reassigns the current command switch and its members to be members under the new command switch.
To use this wizard, both the current and new command switch must run Cisco IOS 12.1(6)EA2 or higher.
In the steps that follow, you are asked to enter:
The Host Name list identifies the devices that can become the new command switch. From this list, select the device that you want to be the new command switch.
Notes:
You have selected a candidate switch. If it has a password, enter it in the Password field. If the switch does not have a password, leave the field blank.
Enter the IP address for the new command switch in the IP Address field.
From the Net Mask field, select a network mask for the new command switch. The network mask, when used with the IP address, identifies the subnet to which the switch belongs.
