This field indicates whether or not the
Mid-Level Manager should watch network packets
in order to ascertain which nodes are currently on the
network. This field is only used if the DiscoverySwitch
field is enabled.
If this field is set to passiveSensing(2), then
only packets received will be examined for new nodes.
If this field is set to activeSensing(3), then
not only will received packets be examined, but any
hints contained in those received packets will be
investigated by querying those hint addresses.
It is recommended that activeSensing(3) be used
to more rapidly discover your network.
