Command and hardware compatibility
The WX1800H series, WX2500H series, and WX3000H series access controllers do not support the slot keyword or the slot-number argument.
Configuring normal Layer 2 forwarding
When an incoming frame's destination MAC address does not match any Layer 3 interface's MAC address, normal Layer 2 forwarding forwards the frame through a Layer 2 interface.
The device uses the destination MAC address of the frame to look for a match in the MAC address table.
· The device forwards the frame out of the outgoing interface in the matching entry if a match is found.
· The device floods the frame to all interfaces in the VLAN of the frame if no match is found.
Configuration procedure
Normal Layer 2 forwarding is enabled by default.

Configuring fast Layer 2 forwarding
Fast Layer 2 forwarding improves packet forwarding efficiency by using a high-speed cache and flow-based technology. It identifies a flow by using the following items:
· Source IP address.
· Source port number.
· Destination IP address.
· Destination port number.
· Protocol number.
· Input interface.
· Output interface.
· VLAN ID.
Fast Layer 2 forwarding creates an entry in a high-speed cache by obtaining the forwarding information of a flow's first packet. Subsequent packets of the flow are forwarded based on the entry.
Configuration procedure
Fast Layer 2 forwarding is enabled by default.
