Enabling or Disabling Layer 2 Switching (Layer 3 Switches only)
By default, Foundry Layer 3 Switches support Layer 2 switching. These devices switch the routing protocols that
are not supported on the devices. If IPX routing is not enabled, then IPX traffic also is switched. By default IPX
routing is disabled. If you want to disable Layer 2 switching, you can do so globally or on individual ports.
NOTE: Layer 2 switching is disabled by default on the NetIron stackable and NetIron Internet Backbone router
when shipped from the factory with software release 07.1.00 or higher.
