This read-create boolean enables or disables standard ILMI procedures for detecting loss of attachment point on this interface; when true, standard ILMI detection is used, and when false, the interface's ILMI protocol will not detect a lost attachment. It lets an admin decide whether this interface should rely on ILMI to notice when its peer connection has been lost. For example, disabling this on an interface where attachment loss is monitored by other means would prevent ILMI from independently declaring the attachment point lost.
