| Description | This object is used to indicate whether there are
any four-pair UTP links connected to this group
that are contained in a cable bundle with multiple
four-pair groups (e.g. a 25-pair bundle). Bundled
cable may only be used for repeater-to-end node
links where the end node is not in promiscuous
mode.
When a broadcast or multicast packet is received
from a port on this group that is not a
promiscuous or cascaded port, the packet will be
buffered completely before being repeated if
this object is set to 'someCablesBundled(1)'.
When this object is equal to 'noCablesBundled(2)',
all packets received from ports on this group will
be repeated as the frame is being received.
Note that the value 'someCablesBundled(1)' will
work in the vast majority of all installations,
regardless of whether or not any cables are
physically in a bundle, since packets received
from promiscuous and cascaded ports automatically
avoid the store and forward. The main situation
in which 'noCablesBundled(2)' is beneficial is
when there is a large amount of multicast traffic
and the cables are not in a bundle.
The value of this object should be preserved
across repeater resets and power failures. |
