Layer 2+ and Basic Layer 3 Switches
The switches in the AT-9400 Gigabit Ethernet Series are divided into two
groups:
groups:
Layer 2+ Switches
– AT-9408LC/SP
– AT-9424T/GB
– AT-9424T/SP
– AT-9424T/GB
– AT-9424T/SP
Basic Layer 3 Switches
– AT-9424T
– AT-9424Ts
– AT-9424Ts/XP
– AT-9448T/SP
– AT-9448Ts/XP
– AT-9424Ts
– AT-9424Ts/XP
– AT-9448T/SP
– AT-9448Ts/XP
The switches of the two groups offer many of the same features and
capabilities. However, there are a couple of significant differences. For
instance, the Internet Protocol Version 4 packet routing feature is only
supported on the Basic Layer 3 switches and is the reason for the group’s
name. For a list of the supported features, refer to Table 1. The switches
are numbered in the table as follows:
