Object

column mandatory r/w Enumeration
This object is used to enable or disable the Boundary
Routing Central MAC feature.  If this feature is enabled,
(ie, if this object has the value centralMac(1)), the 
Central Node (in a Boundary Routing environment) will use
a special internally saved MAC address as its source
MAC address on this port.  This will allow certain protocols
(such as TCP/IP and IPX) running on the Leaf Nodes to switch 
to another Central Node without losing sessions.  
              
Note, in order for this feature to operate properly, it must 
be enabled on all the Central Nodes attached to the same Leaf 
Node.  Also note, this feature only applies to Central Nodes
(in a Boundary Routing environment) and doesn't apply to
the Leaf Nodes.
              
	Note, when this parameter is enabled/disabled, the port itself
	must be disabled and then re-enabled for the new value to take
	effect.  This is done by setting the corresponding instance of 
	ifAdminStatus to up(1).
