## Variable definitions

Variable | Value
--- | ---
IfIndex | Specifies the port on which to configure SLPP Guard.
Enable | Enables (true) or disables (false) SLPP Guard for the port.
Timeout | Specifies the time period, in seconds, for which SLPP Guard disables the port. After the timeout period expires, the switch re-enables the port. The timeout value can be 0 or a value ranging from 10 to 65535. With a value of 0, the port remains disabled until it is manually re-enabled. The default Timeout value is 60 seconds.
Status | Displays the SLPP Guard status for the port.
TimerCount | Indicates the time, in seconds, that elapses after SLPP Guard disables a port. When the TimerCount value equals the Timeout value, the switch reenables the port.
