Device Models
All models can be fully managed through the web-based switch configuration
utility.
NOTE Each model can be set to Layer 3 system mode by using the System Mode and
Stack Management page, except for the SG500X/ESW2-550X models that always
run in both Layer 2 and Layer 3 system mode.
When the device operates in Layer 3 system mode, the VLAN Rate Limit, and QoS
policers are not operational. Other QoS Advanced mode features are operational.
Only the SG500X/ESW2-550X models support Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP), and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
