Switching

ERPS can be used to increase the availability and robustness of Ethernet rings, such as those used

in Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). ERPS provides Layer 2 loop avoidance and fast

reconvergence in Layer 2 ring topologies, supporting up to 255 nodes in the ring structure. It can

also function with IEEE 802.1ag to support link monitoring when non-participating devices exist

within the Ethernet ring.

IP Routing The switch provides Layer 3 IP routing. To maintain a high rate of throughput, the switch forwards

all traffic passing within the same segment, and routes only traffic that passes between different

subnetworks. The wire-speed routing provided by this switch lets you easily link network segments

or VLANs together without having to deal with the bottlenecks or configuration hassles normally

associated with conventional routers.

Static Routing – Traffic is automatically routed between any IP interfaces configured on the switch.

Routing to statically configured hosts or subnet addresses is provided based on next-hop entries

specified in the static routing table.

System Defaults

The switch’s system defaults are provided in the configuration file “Factory_Default_Config.cfg.” To

reset the switch defaults, this file should be set as the startup configuration file.

The following table lists some of the basic system defaults.
