• IPv6 – Designed for service provider edge and aggregation deployment, IPv6 models support the 128-bit
addressing format and full Layer 2 and base Layer 3 switching. Premium models provide additional support
for full Layer 3 IPv4 routing protocols or full Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols, depending on the DIP
key (Layer 3 upgrade PROM) installed in the device.
See Table 2.1 for a list of supported configurations.
Supported Configurations
Table 2.1 lists the FastIron compact products and their supported configurations.
Software Features
Software features differ depending on the software version that is loaded on the device. When first shipped,
Standard and POE devices support full Layer 2 and base Layer 3 Switching. FWSX devices support full Layer 2
Switching only. Premium (PREM) devices support full Layer 2 Switching and full Layer 3 multiprotocol routing. All
FES and FESX devices can be upgraded to premium models, meaning all models can support full Layer 3
