You can operate both Fast switching mode and RIP mode concurrently via a single virtual interface. Fast switching mode is automatically selected for intra-network communications, and RIP mode for inter-network communications. A single virtual interface supports communications within the same network and between different networks.
Figure 2.25 Fast switching mode / RIP mode operation shows the concept of Fast switching/RIP mode operation.

Note
This function is only available for Fast switching and RIP mode. Other modes such as NIC switching mode and GS/SURE linkage mode cannot use this function.
