The desired amount of CPU bandwith reserved for management purposes. For example, in the default state (1), the device will devote all CPU bandwith to switching if necessary therefore possibly dropping management frames. If limited (2) is selected, management of the device may appear slow while under maximum switching capabilities although management will still be possible which may result in dropped frames. If full (3) is selected, management of the device is always possible and acts as if there is no switching load on the device, which may result in dropped frames.
