Description

Layer 2

Filtering and forwarding decision will be based on MAC addresses for all

 

protocol traffic.

Multi-Layer

Switching based on MAC addresses will be used for all non-IP protocol

 

traffic, and routing will be used for all IP protocol traffic.

Note:

 

When the switch is set to multilayer mode, the IP menus are enabled, and the “IP Configuration (Layer 2 Mode)” menu on chapter 2 is disabled. When operating in multilayer mode, you should configure an IP interface for each VLAN that needs to communicate with any device outside of the VLAN. (See “Subnet Configuration” on chapter 2.)
