DESCRIPTION
       You can use the general component to modify how the system processes
       local traffic.

EXAMPLES
       modify general maintenance-mode enabled
	    Places the Local Traffic Manager system in maintenance mode.

       list general
	    Displays the general properties of the local traffic management
	    system.

OPTIONS
       gratuitous-arp-rate
	    Specifies how fast gratuitous ARPs can be sent. If it is 0, then
	    gratuitous ARPs are sent without pause. Otherwise, it specifies
	    how many gratuitous ARPs can be sent every second. The default
	    value is 0. The range is 0 (zero) to 2147483647."

       l2-cache-timeout
	    Specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that records remain in
	    the Layer 2 forwarding table, when the MAC address of the record
	    is no longer detected on the network.

	    The default value is 300 seconds. The range is 0 (zero) to
	    2147483647 seconds.

       maintenance-mode
	    Specifies, when enabled, that the unit is in maintenance mode. In
	    maintenance mode, the system stops accepting new connections and
	    slowly finishes off existing connections.

	    The default value is disabled.

       share-single-mac
	    Specifies the Media Access Control address (MAC address) that the
	    system assigns to a VLAN. The default value is unique, which
	    indicates that a VLAN uses a unique MAC address from the pool of
	    mac addresses assigned to each hardware platform. The global value
	    indicates that all of the VLANs on the system use the same MAC
	    address. The vmw-compat value indicates that the MAC address of a
	    vlan is allocated in a manner compatible with VMware(tm) vSwitch,
	    and restricts vlans to a single interface, with no trunks allowed.
	    Changing the value of this feature requires a manual restart of
	    all TMOS daemons.

       snat-packet-forward
	    Enables or disables SNAT packet forwarding. The default value is
	    enabled.
