Stack Forced Mode
If you enable the Stack Forced Mode feature and a stack of two units breaks, the standalone
switch that results from that broken stack of two is managed using the previous stack IP
address. Use the recovery tree in this section if you cannot access the standalone switch using
the stack IP address.
You cannot access a switch at the stack IP address using ping,
Telnet, SSH, Web, or DM recovery tree
