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 filtering and forwarding decisions based strictly on MAC address-
es. As a multilayer routing switch, it switches packets for all non-IP protocols
based on MAC addresses, and routes all IP packets based on the specified
routing protocol.
• 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.
