You can deploy a J-series device with multiport uPIMs in branch offices as an access or desktop switch with integrated routing capability, thus eliminating intermediate access switch devices from your topology. The Gigabit Ethernet uPIM provides Ethernet switching while the Routing Engine provides routing functionality, enabling you to use a single chassis to provide routing, access switching, and WAN interfaces.
You can set a multiport uPIM to three modes of operation: routing (the default), switching, or enhanced switching. Routed traffic is forwarded from any port of the Gigabit Ethernet uPIM to the WAN interface. Switched traffic is forwarded from one port of the Gigabit Ethernet uPIM to another port on the same Gigabit Ethernet uPIM. Switched traffic is not forwarded from a port on one uPIM to a port on a different uPIM.
In routing mode, the multiport uPIM has the same configuration options as any other Gigabit Ethernet interface. To configure uPIM Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in routing mode, see Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces—Quick Configuration and Configuring Network Interfaces with a Configuration Editor.
