The following table describes the expected interface status of two directly connected fiber ports based on
the configured or auto-negotiated speed and duplex settings. The fiber ports support only auto-negotiation
or 1 Gbps full-duplex.

Configuring Layer 3 Mode

Note: Layer 3 (routing) in SFTOS requires the Routing Package (Layer 3 Package) of SFTOS.
To enable Layer 3 on a port, you assign an IP address to the port. First, inspect the port list to see what IP
addresses have been assigned. See
By assigning an IP address to a physical interface, you place it in Layer 3 mode. You must also enable
routing at the system level and on the interface. Routed traffic now passes through the interface, and you
can configure routing protocols on that interface. For details, see
