8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch User's Guide Switch Operation Mode Note: The Switch will retain the configuration entered for IP Routing when in Layer 2 Only mode (if the configuration is saved to NV-RAM), but the IP Routing configuration will not be active. The IP Routing configuration will become active when the Switch is again put in IP Routing mode. Note: Putting the Switch in IP Routing mode does not - by itself - enable IP routing. The Switch must be configured to use IP interfaces before it is capable of IP routing. (See the section titled Setting up IP Interfaces below.) The Switch can operate in one of two modes: 1. Layer 2 Only with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support: the switching process is based upon the source and destination MAC addresses only. 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the Switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device. 2. IP Routing with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support: the switching process is based upon the IP source and destination addresses, if present. If the IP addresses are not present, the switching process is based upon the MAC addresses (as in Layer 2 above). 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the Switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device. The Switch must be rebooted when changing the operation mode before the new operation mode can take effect. Changing the Switch Operation Mode To change the Switch's operating mode: Highlight Switch Settings on the Main Menu and press Enter. Figure 6-18. Switch Settings screen 72

Switch Operation Mode
Note:
The Switch will retain the configuration entered for
IP Routing
when in
Layer 2 Only
mode (if
the configuration is saved to NV-RAM), but the
IP Routing
configuration will not be active. The
IP Routing
configuration will become active when the Switch is again put in
IP Routing
mode.
Note:
Putting the Switch in
IP Routing
mode does not – by itself – enable IP routing. The Switch
must be configured to use IP interfaces before it is capable of IP routing. (See the section titled
Setting up IP Interfaces
below.)
The Switch can operate in one of two modes:
1.
Layer 2 Only with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support
: the switching process is based upon the source
and destination MAC addresses only. 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the Switch is considered as a
VLAN-tag aware device.
2.
IP Routing with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support
: the switching process is based upon the IP source
and destination addresses, if present. If the IP addresses are not present, the switching process is based
upon the MAC addresses (as in Layer 2 above). 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the Switch is considered
as a VLAN-tag aware device.
The Switch must be rebooted when changing the operation mode before the new operation mode can take effect.
Changing the Switch Operation Mode
To change the Switch’s operating mode:
Highlight
Switch Settings
on the
Main Menu
and press
Enter
