DescriptionIn 5.2, the various switch modes can be broken up into:
Mode | Summary | Config |
|
1. Interface
Mode
2. Hub Mode
3.
Switch Mode | Available on units with an internal switch such
as 60B, 60C, etc.. |
config sys global
set
internal-switch-mode {switch|interface|hub}
end
|
| 4. Hardware Switch | Similar to 3) except more flexible and allows
individual ports to be grouped together |
config system virtual-switch
edit
"lan"
set
physical-switch "sw0"
config port
edit
"port1"
… |
| 5. Software Switch | Similar to 4) except processed by software |
config system switch-interface
edit
<name>
set
member <port1> <port2>
end
|
| 6. VLAN Switch Mode | native VLAN feature for units with many ports |
config sys interface
edit
<name>
set type
switch-vlan
end
config switch-controller vlan
edit
<name>
set vlanid 10
|
In 5.4, there will no longer be a “set
internal-switch-mode” option in global, because of the removal of Hub and Switch
mode. Upon upgrade, Switch mode will be converted into Hardware Switch mode.
Changes in 5.4:
Mode | Change |
1. Interface
Mode
| Ports are by default in Interface Mode. “set
internal-switch-mode” entirely removed since only Interface Mode is
supported in 5.4 |
| 2. Hub Mode | Removed
|
| 3.
Switch Mode | Removed. Upgrade will convert configs to Hardware Switch mode
|
| 4. Hardware Switch | Default settings for most low-end models
|
| 5. Software Switch | Unchanged
|
| 6. VLAN Switch Mode | CLI support only for FG-100D and FG-200D
GUI kept for FGT with 40 or more ports
