I am using a MSR2013 router
The command below doesnt work:
interface Vlan-interface1
description To LAN
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
port link-mode bridge
=======================================
Instead i have to use:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
port link-mode route
ip add 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Can someone explain why layer 2 configuration is allowed if the interface will only act as a layer 3 in the first place?
Why no error message?
How do i know if a port has switching or routing capabilities and if an additional module is necessary?
