Despite the description text apparently being copy-pasted from nodeRerouteDelay and describing a seconds delay, the object's name and enumerated syntax indicate it actually selects the switch's rerouting algorithm mode, with disable(3) presumably turning off automatic rerouting entirely. Given the mismatched description, an admin should treat nodeRerouteAlg's actual enumerated values, negneg, pospos, and disable, as the authoritative behavior and verify against Cascade's hardware documentation rather than trust the MIB's copy-paste error describing it as a timer.
