mbf

any

Response will be sent using learnt info if enabled. When creating a netprofile, if you do not set this parameter, the netprofile inherits the global MBF setting (available in the enable ns mode and disable ns mode CLI commands, or in the System > Settings > Configure modes > Configure Modes dialog box). However, you can override this setting after you create the netprofile

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

name
