Its kind of a hybrid. It is a 50 port switch, but they are all routed ports and are configured like a router. You need to make bridge-groups and place interfaces inside the groups inorder to create VLANs. Still I really think they should've have added this feature as it can be very helpful and their L3 switch competitors offer this feature. (Extreme Networks Summit switches for one).I was hoping someone may know of this feature or a workaround that would do the trick.
