SW1 and SW2: Mode of Operation
The module supports Switch, Directed Switch and Dual Device modes.
The modes are described with MAC learning enabled. When MAC learning is
disabled, unicast packets are forwarded to all ports.

Modes of Operation
Switch Mode
When configured for Switch Mode (factory default), the module operates as a
standard layer 2 switch. Data flow will follow MAC address mapping.
Directed Switch Mode
When configured for Directed Switch Mode, traffic from all the RJ-45 user ports (P1 -
P4 or P1 - P8) is only forwarded to the uplink port F1, preventing the broadcast traffic
from flooding other network ports. The data traffic on the additional uplink port (F2) is
also forwarded to port F1. Incoming traffic from F1 follows MAC address mapping.
