MCheck Select whether to perform MCheck operations on the port. If a port on an
RSTP-enabled/MSTP-enabled device is connected to an STP-enabled
device, the port will switch to STP compatible mode and send packets in STP
format. MCheck is used to switch the mode of the port back to RSTP/MSTP
after the port is disconnected from the STP-enabled device. The MCheck
configuration can take effect only once, after that the MCheck status of the
port will switch to Disabled.
