Configuring Layer 2 forwarding
Configuring normal Layer 2 forwarding
Displaying and maintaining normal Layer 2 forwarding
Layer 2 forwarding falls into the following categories:
· Normal
· Fast
· Inline
· Cut-through
· Inter-VLAN
The device only supports normal Layer 2 forwarding.
Configuring normal Layer 2 forwarding
If the destination MAC address of an incoming packet matches the MAC address of the receiving Layer 3 interface, the device forwards the packet through that interface. If not, the device performs normal Layer 2 forwarding through a Layer 2 interface. The device looks up the MAC address table according to the destination MAC address of the incoming packet, obtains the outgoing interface, and then forwards the packet through the interface.
Configuration procedure
Normal Layer 2 forwarding is enabled by default.
