Configuring normal Layer 2 forwarding
Normal Layer 2 forwarding can be configured only at the CLI.
If the destination MAC address of an incoming packet matches the MAC address of the receiving Layer
3 interface, the device forwards the packet through that interface. If not, the device performs normal
Layer 2 forwarding through a Layer 2 interface. The device looks up the MAC address table according
to the destination MAC address of the incoming packet, obtains the outgoing interface, and then
forwards the packet through the interface.

Normal Layer 2 forwarding is enabled by default.
