Description: This object is used to indicate whether there are any four-pair UTP links connected to this group that are contained in a cable bundle with multiple four-pair groups (e.g. a 25-pair bundle). Bundled cable may only be used for repeater-to-end node links where the end node is not in promiscuous mode.

When a broadcast or multicast packet is received from a port on this group that is not a

promiscuous or cascaded port, the packet will be buffered completely before being repeated if this object is set to 'someCablesBundled(1)'. When this object is equal to 'noCablesBundled(2)', all packets received from ports on this group will be repeated as the frame is being received.

Note that the value 'someCablesBundled(1)' will work in the vast majority of all installations, regardless of whether or not any cables are physically in a bundle, since packets received from promiscuous and cascaded ports automatically avoid the store and forward. The main situation in which 'noCablesBundled(2)' is beneficial is when there is a large amount of multicast traffic and the cables are not in a bundle.

The value of this object should be preserved across repeater resets and power failures.
