Switch Operation Mode
Putting the switch in IP Routing mode does not – by itself – enable IP routing. The switch must be configured to use IP interfaces before it is capable of IP routing.
The switch can operate in one of two modes:
1.Layer 2 Only, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. The switching process is based upon the source and destination MAC addresses only. 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the switch is considered as a
2.IP Routing, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. The switching process is based upon the IP source and destination addresses, if present. If the IP addresses are not present, the switching process is based upon the MAC addresses (as in Layer 2 above). 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the switch is considered as a
The switch must be rebooted when changing the operation mode before the new mode can take effect.
