Frequently asked questions

What routing methods does the Moxa Layer 3 switch support?

The Moxa Layer 3 switch supports static routing and dynamic routing using RIP V1/V1c/V2 or OSPF.

How does the Layer 3 switch determine the destination of data packets?

The Layer 3 switch uses the IP address to represent the destination of a data packet, unlike Layer 2 switches that use MAC addresses.

What is the difference between RIP and OSPF routing protocols?

RIP is a distance-vector protocol using hop count, while OSPF is a link-state protocol using link state to determine routes, offering faster convergence and less network traffic.
