EtherFast® Series

System Mode

The System Mode screen lets you set the Switch to operate as a Layer 2 switch or as a multilayer routing switch. As a Layer 2 switch, the Switch makes all filtering and forwarding decisions based strictly on MAC address- es. As a multilayer routing switch, it switches packets for all non-IP protocols based on MAC addresses, and routes all IP packets based on the specified routing protocol.

•Layer 2 - Filtering and forwarding decisions will be based on MAC addresses for all protocol traffic.

•Multilayer - Switching based on MAC addresses will be used for all non-IP protocol traffic, and routing will be used for all IP protocol traffic.
