Enhanced Switching Mode

In enhanced switching mode, each port can be configured for switching or routing mode. This usage differs from the routing and switching modes, in which all ports must be in either switching or routing mode. The uPIM in enhanced switching mode provides the following features:

Supports configuration of different types of VLANs and inter-VLAN routing
Supports Layer 2 control plane protocols such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
Supports Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC) by means of authentication servers

Note: You can configure uPIM in enhanced switching mode only in 9.2 Release or later.
