You can enable or disable the Internet Protocol (IP) option. The default is disabled.
IP B ACKGROUND I NFORMATION
When IP is enabled, the system acts as a router, routing IP datagrams based on IP address
information. The default configuration is IP disabled.
Note: If the bridge and the IP options are enabled, the CyberSWITCH will act as a brouter. A
brouter operates as a router for protocols it can route, and operates as a bridge for protocols
it cannot route.

The operating mode may be either host or router. The router operating mode is the default. The IP
host mode (which allows you to use IP applications, such as Telnet and SNMP, on a bridged
network) is a selectable option.
The Simple Remote Bridging chapter of the Examples Guide provides an example of a simple bridged
network that uses the IP host operating mode for the purpose of easy administrative access.
