• The FSX running software release 02.2.00 or later supports disabling Layer 2 switching on an individual

To globally disable Layer 2 switching on a Layer 3 Switch, enter commands such as the following:
FESX424 Router(config)# route-only
FESX424 Router(config)# exit
FESX424 Router# write memory
FESX424 Router# reload
To re-enable Layer 2 switching on a Layer 3 Switch, enter the following:
FESX424 Router(config)# no route-only
FESX424 Router(config)# exit
FESX424 Router# write memory
FESX424 Router# reload
Syntax: [no] route-only
To disable Layer 2 switching only on a specific interface, go to the Interface configuration level for that interface,
then disable the feature. The following commands show how to disable Layer 2 switching on port 2:
FESX424 Router(config)# interface ethernet 2
FESX424 Router(config-if-e1000-2)# route-only
Syntax: [no] route-only
To re-enable Layer 2 switching, enter the command with “no”, as in the following example:
FESX424 Router(config-if-e1000-2)# no route-only
