Stack forced mode

Stack Forced Mode allows one or both units of a two-unit stack to become stand-alone switches if a
stack of two units fails. You can manage the units from the broken stack in Stack Forced Mode.
If you enable Stack Forced Mode on a stack, you enable Stack Forced Mode on both units in the
stack. Stack Forced Mode becomes active only if the stack fails.
You can configure Stack Forced Mode through ACLI. Refer to
mode on page 77.
Stack Forced Mode applies to a stand-alone switch that is part of a stack of two units. When
functioning in this mode, the stand-alone switch keeps the previous stack IP settings (IP address,
netmask, and gateway). An administrator can reach the device through an IP connection by Telnet
or Enterprise Device Manager while using Stack Forced Mode.
If one unit fails, the remaining unit (base or non-base unit) keeps the previous stack IP settings. The
remaining unit issues a gratuitous ARP packet when it enters Stack Forced Mode, in order for other
devices on the network to update their ARP cache.
