Configure Layer 2 Switch Ports
Lets learn about the L2/L3 switch ports for ION devices in Prisma SD-WAN
Netsec.

The integrated Layer 2 switch ports enable you to connect multiple devices directly
on the L2 LAN or add downstream switches or Wireless Access Points (WAP). L2 LAN switch
ports are supported only on ION 3200, ION 1200-S, ION
1200-S-C-NA/ROW, and ION 1200-S-C5G-WW on ports 5 -10. These platforms have six 1Gbps
RJ-45 L2 switch ports, two 1Gbps RJ-45 WAN ports, and two 2.5Gbps switch to host uplink
ports.
When the ION 3200 device is running in L2
mode, it will function as ION 1200-S, and when the ION 3200 is running in L3 mode, it
will serve as the current ION 3200 device.
Layer 2 LAN Switch supports:
Supports per port configuration of access or trunk ports.
VLAN definition supports attributes such as numerical ID
value, name, and tags. VLAN ID range is 1-4000.
Maximum number of active VLANs is 32.
Native VLAN on a trunk port can be any VLAN ID in the supported
range.
Storm Control Thresholds are configurable for Unknown Unicast,
Multicast, and Broadcast per port. By default, the Broadcast Storm
Control is enabled with a threshold of 1000Kbps.
Spanning Tree supported modes are IEEE 802.1d, IEEE 802.1s,
and IEEE 802.1w (default). The modes are automatically detected
and switched on receiving the BPDU.
Configurable Hello
Timer, Forward Delay, Max Age, and Aging Timer.
Configurable Spanning Tree Priority at system level.
Configurable per port Cost and Priority.
Configurable BPDU Guard and Root Guard per port.
Portfast is enabled by default.
QoS is maintained.
L2 Switch ports are supported on a minimum ION device version of 6.0.2 for ION 1200-S and 6.3.1 for ION 3200. You cannot
downgrade to a lower version.
