The same values don't work appropriately when using the device as an EtherSwitch it seems because one of my CPU threads almost immediately maxes out and stays there. At the end, the emulator will display a list of possible values to pass to the -idle-pc option. The only issue left is when I want to make an EtherSwitch out of a device. Everything seems to work fine when I do so.

Ill continue scouring Google for answers, but if anyone here could provide some info itd be appreciated.
