prom Switch Port Convert To Static

1.3.6.1.4.1.2167.5.2.1.1.3

When this object is set to convertToStatic(2), all addresses learned on this port will be added to the non-volatile version of the static address table. Typically, this object will be used to perform a crude form of address database update where the address activity associated with this port is collected as static (i.e. permanent) addresses while the value of this object is set to convertToStatic(2). Following this usually short period of time (perhaps a week of activity), the value of this object is restored back to its default value of learnAsDynamic(1) and learning for this port is disabled. It is important that the user verify the address database to verify that only the desired addresses were made permanent.
