Recovering from a Failed Command Switch Without Replacing the Command Switch

If a command switch fails and there is no standby command switch configured, member switches
continue forwarding among themselves, and they can still be managed through normal standalone
means. You can configure member switches through the console-port CLI, and they can be managed
through SNMP, HTML, and Telnet after you assign an IP address to them.
The password you enter when you log in to the command switch gives you access to member switches.
If the command switch fails and there is no standby command switch, you can use the command-switch
password to recover. For more information, see the
