Notes
smSwitchLifetime [lifetime]
lifetime
The packet lifetime value between 0 and 31, inclusive.
The switch lifetime value determines the maximum time a packet may remain in a
switch, calculated using the formula: 4.096 * (2 to the power of switchlifetime)
microseconds.
The Subnet manager must be running to use this command. Changes made with
this command will only affect the currently running SM, and will be forgotten if the
FM is restarted or the chassis is rebooted. To make persistent changes edit the
FM XML configuration file.
Examples -> smSwitchLifetime 15
SM switch packet lifetime: 15 (~134217 microseconds)
