This object defines the mode of the board. In Auto Mode, the board is using its hardware defaults. The default values of the board are all ports enabled, speed selected by the HW jumper on the board, the FNB attempts to attach left and right and not bypassed, ring port phantom current (if applicable) is controlled via a HW switch, and selectable media (if applicable) is managed also via a HW switch. In Management Mode, the hardware defaults may be overridden by network or local management.
