asked on

cisco switch mode or router mode

Hi Experts,

please can you tell me the difference between switch mode and router mode ?
I have a Cisco SG300 switch.
I know I can use it also as layer 3 switch.
We just need this switch for switch not more.
Should I leave the default settings or is it better to change to router mode ?

ok, the switch is installed as layer2 switch.
Inside the office the user can connect to dc and there profiles.
But I cannot ping the machine from the HQ.
Do you know what is wrong ?
