P_AUTOTRAIN

code: 129

# set
<module-index>/<port-index> P_AUTOTRAIN <interval>

# get
<module-index>/<port-index> P_AUTOTRAIN ?

Description

The interval between sending out training packets, allowing a switch to learn the port’s MAC address. Layer-2 switches configure themselves automatically by detecting the source MAC addresses of packets received on each port. If a port only receives, and does not itself transmit test traffic, then the switch will never learn its MAC address. Also, if transmission is very rare the switch will age-out the learned MAC address. By setting the auto-train interval you instruct the port to send switch training packets, independent of whether the port is transmitting test traffic.

Parameters

interval: integer, the interval between sending out training packets of the port
