This read-write field controls what categories of traffic are permitted to flow over this Cascade trunk, the full normal mix, only switch management traffic, management plus PVC traffic, or a private-only mode, effectively a coarse traffic-admission policy for the trunk. An admin sets this to management-only or a restricted mode during specific operational scenarios, such as isolating a trunk for maintenance-related signaling while blocking customer PVC traffic from traversing it. For example, setting lportTrkTrafficMix to management-only during a network reconfiguration lets the admin exchange switch management traffic across the trunk while temporarily excluding customer PVC data from that path.
