What is swUnitMgmtCtrlMode?

This read-write OID sets the stacking mode an admin wants for a unit: auto, standalone, forced master, or forced slave; it can only be changed while the unit is in standalone mode. An admin sets this to master(4) to force a specific switch to control the stack's configuration.
