Which two processes are used to add a new stack member to an existing stack?

Adding a new member to an existing RUCKUS ICX switch stack can be accomplished through the following methods:

Stack Priority Configuration:

Determine the role of the new switch within the stack hierarchy by setting its priority.

Access the new switch's CLI.

Enter global configuration mode: configure terminal.

Set the stack unit ID and priority: stack unit [unit_id] priority [priority_value].

A higher priority value increases the likelihood of the switch becoming the stack master.

Save the configuration: write memory.

Manual Configuration:

Manually configure the new switch to match the existing stack settings.

Ensure the switch has a clean configuration by resetting it to factory defaults:

Enter global configuration mode: configure terminal.

Execute: write erase.

Reload the switch: reload.

Enable stacking:

Enter global configuration mode: configure terminal.

Execute: stack enable.

Connect the new switch to the existing stack using appropriate stacking cables.

On the stack master, use the stack secure-setup command to recognize and add the new member.

Verify the new member's addition by executing: show stack.
