Enable layer 2 switching
1. By default, Brocade devices support routing over layer 2 switching. You can enable layer 2
switching globally or on individual port using the no route-only command. The no route-only
and route-only commands prompts you for whether or not you want to change the “route-only”
behavior. You must enter y if you want to proceed or n if you do not. To enable Layer 2 switching
only on a specific interface, go to the interface configuration level for that interface, and add
the no route-only command.
NOTE
On the Brocade NetIron XMR and Brocade MLX series devices, route-only is the default
condition. Because route-only is the default condition, it will not be displayed in the
configuration. If you use no route-only to enable switching, the no route-only command will be
displayed in the configuration.
NOTE
On the Brocade NetIron CES and Brocade NetIron CER devices, route-only is disabled by
default. Therefore, if route-only is enabled on a Brocade NetIron CES or Brocade NetIron CER
device, it will be displayed in the configuration.
Use the following command to enable Layer 2 switching.
Brocade(config)# no route-only
Syntax: [no] route-only
