Forwarding Rules


Forwarding Rules are used by the GIGAswitch/IP Switch Controller to determine how to use the various levels of forwarding performance in IP switch architecture. Three default forwarding rules are provided: switch, forward and cache.

Matching rules are processed in strict top-to-bottom order. Therefore, it is important that rules be configured in the order you want. In general, more specific rules should come before less specific rules.
