You can use SmartPort macros to enable features and settings based on the location of a switch in the network and for mass configuration deployments across the network. Each SmartPort macro is a set of CLI commands that you define.
The metal with the highest melting point is Tungsten (W) at 3410 degrees Celsius (6170 degrees Fahrenheit). However, technically Carbon has a higher melting point, though not under normal atmospheric conditions. This is because it sublimates (turns directly from a solid to a gas) at 6740 degrees Fahrenheit under normal circumstances.
More or less of other metals alloyed with your gold such as silver or copper may raise or lower the melting point a bit. 14 K Gold, varies because there are many 14 K gold alloys, but a typical melting temperature for 14 K is about 1650 F. A fairly powerful torch, such as an oxy-acetylene unit will be required.
