Description

Sets the hardware forwarding table profile on an 8320 and 8325 switch series.

NOTE:

The switch must be rebooted for a mode change to take effect.

NOTE:

For the 8320 switch series, prior to release 10.2, the forwarding table mode was configured with the command platform forwarding-table-mode {3 | 4}. When upgrading to release 10.02, any existing configuration is converted as follows: table mode 3 is converted to l3-agg and table mode 4 is converted to l3-core.
