Usage Guidelines

The Ethernet switching mode determines how the switch behaves as a switching device between the servers. End host mode allows the switch to act as an end host to the network, representing all server (hosts) connected to it through vNICs and the network. Switch mode is the traditional Ethernet switching mode.

Examples

This example shows how to set the Ethernet switching mode to end host mode:

switch-A# scope eth-uplink
switch-A /eth-uplink # set mode end-host
switch-A /eth-uplink* # commit-buffer
switch-A /eth-uplink #
