EtherFast® Layer 3 Management 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

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 fil- tering and forwarding decisions based strictly on MAC addresses. As a multi- layer routing switch, it switches packets for all non-IP protocols based on MAC addresses, and routes all IP packets based on the specified routing pro- tocol.

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.

Select OK to return to the previous panel.
