NOTE
By default, the SmartSwitch 2000 performs traditional switching (or bridging).
Depending on the version of Þrmware you have installed, the SmartSwitch 2000 can also
be conÞgured to perform pre-standard 802.1Q VLAN switching or CabletronÕs
SecureFast Switching. (Check your Þrmware release notes to see if your version of
Þrmware supports these features).
For SmartSwitch 2000 devices that support 802.1Q VLANs or SecureFast Switching, the
toggle from traditional bridging to 802.1Q or SecureFast Switching is performed via
Local Management. Refer to your Local Management documentation for details.
When using SPECTRUM Element Manager to manage a device conÞgured for
SecureFast Switching, no bridging-related windows or port status display options will be
available. All other management options will be available.
