This attribute specifies whether the RIP and SAP general requests are
sent out a port when the port first comes up. If this attribute is enabled
the initial requests will be made; whereas if the attribute is disabled the
initial requests will not be made. This attribute may be disabled in order
to avoid the traffic resulting within the network from these initial
requests and the ensuing responses. With the initial request disabled,
the switch will learn about other network segments off of the IPX ports
via the periodic broadcasts which are received on those port.
