Software Modules
NETGEAR Managed Switch software consists of flexible modules that can be applied in various
combinations to develop advanced Layer 2/3/4+ products. The commands and command modes
available on your switch depend on the installed modules. Additionally, for some show
commands, the output fields might change based on the modules included in the NETGEAR
Managed Switch software.

• Switching (Layer 2)
