Question 1:
Can the S2700 Switch Function as a Gateway?
Answer 1: The S2700 Huawei switch cannot be used as a gateway. The S2700 is a Layer 2 switch. If it is used as a gateway, it sends all packets that need to be forwarded at Layer 3 to the CPU to forward the packets through software. This causes high CPU usage. Because CAR parameters are configured to protect the CPU, a large number of packets are dropped, affecting the forwarding of service packets.

Question 4: Do I Need to Upgrade the BootROM When I Run the startup system-software Command on a Case-shaped Switch to Specify the Software Package for Next Startup?
Answer 4: In V100R006 and earlier versions, the system displays the following information when you run the startup system-software command to specify the software package for the next startup:"Warning: Basic BOOTROM will be upgraded. Continue?(Y/N)[N]." You must upgrade the boot ROM; otherwise, the switch cannot start. Follow the instruction in the upgrade guide when you upgrade a switch. In versions later than V100R006, the system automatically upgrades the BootROM after you run the startup system-software command to specify the software package for the next startup.
