• Maintain Only

Each time an initial SwitchManager connects to the LLC, SwitchManager reads the configuration file and does no initial configuration. If an active SwitchManager reconnects to an LLC, SwitchManager will behave as if it were Smart Mode.

• Smart Mode

Each time it connects to the LLC, SwitchManager reads a configuration file and reconfigures anything that is configured differently than specified in the configuration file. SwitchManager determines this by checking the Configuration Tag of all cards in the system. Any card with a Configuration Tag of zero (0) is reconfigured.

Important! This option only applies to the initial startup of the SwitchManager. A system running in a production environment should be run in Smart Mode.
