dot12ControlMode

This object is used to configure and report
whether or not this interface is operating in
master mode.  In a Demand Priority network, end
node interfaces typically operate in slave mode,
while switch interfaces may control the Demand
Priority protocol and operate in master mode.
              
This object may be implemented as a read-only
object by those agents and interfaces that do not
implement software control of master mode.  In
particular, interfaces that cannot operate in
master mode, and interfaces on which master mode
is controlled by a pushbutton on the device,
should implement this object read-only.
              
Some interfaces do not require network management
configuration of this feature and can autosense
whether to use master mode or slave mode.  The
value 'learn' is used for that purpose.  While
autosense is taking place, the value 'learn' is
returned.
              
A network management operation which modifies the
value of dot12ControlMode causes the interface
to retrain.
