That is also true of a bridge, at least for the most part.
I don't know what other issues there may be as I don't run them as
switches or bridges.

What functionality to you lose doing this. I know once you go into "switch
mode" you lose the ability to configure each interface individually, they
all just follow the master. I take it that means any firewall or other
management you want to do cannot be on a port by port basis. Is that
correct? Any other pitfalls?

I don't remember what version of ROS supports it, but there is a switch

Delete the bridge.
Go to Interfaces->Ethernet
On ports 3,4,5 set the Master Port to 2.
You should now have a real switch.

We have a small POP with about a half-dozen subs on it. I used an RB450
as a cheap managed switch between the uplink and the AP. There is a DHCP
server on the other end of the uplink, but it appears that bootp is not
passing through the RB450.
The RB450 is running ROS 3.21. Is this a known bug/limitation of a
bridged interface? Should I be putting this guy in switch mode?
What is the minimum rev of ROS to get the built-in switch to act as a
real switch (instead of a bridge)?
