Not sure you need an option for this. This is beyond the spec but
even if you disabled the switch port across the link from the non
matching SM, you might still have other nodes claimed by that SM which
you couldn't access. You would still need to do something to clear that
up. Also, if it is an embedded SM (on a switch) then there are numerous
ports to disable.
